ACC Hall of Fame

Catherine Perkins

Bear Creek, NC

An ACC charter member, Cathy has an impressive list of cribbage credentials:

• Grand Master ranking (5,137 lifetime MRPs),
• six main tournament wins (including National Open 10 and Grand National 22),
• Bronze Award (2,210 GRPs at Club 58 in Raleigh NC).

But Cathy’s accomplishments go far beyond the cribbage board. She has . . .

• Directed a Grass Roots club for over twenty years
• served as Grass Roots regional statistician since 1993
• been director or codirector of the National Open since 1989
• served with distinction on the BOD since 1989, including multiple terms on the executive committee and numerous committees
• been a judge since the inception of the judging program and is now a senior judge

The HOF was established to recognize people exactly like Cathy—those who have proven their skill and contributed to the well-being of the ACC. She always displays ethical play, and her infectious smile is the embodiment of good sportsmanship.

With her selfless promotion of cribbage and altruistic service to our organization, Cathy’s election to the Hall of Fame was long overdue. She will be formally inducted into the HOF at the Awards Banquet in Grand Rapids MI on September 26, 2009.
