Wilson Gartner was an interesting person and an ardent player of cribbage and collector of diverse cribbage boards. He was kind and insightful friend. We shared his loss in the death of Barb and enjoyed knowing his new friend, Alice. His unique name tags for convention attendees are collectibles, themselves. Wilson, may all your hands be 29, with an occasional "raggedy ann" to keep you on your toes.
