Alas, we never went to the Anchor Inn in 1991, even though we played Campbell River numerous times, or you and I might have met a few years earlier. I'm pretty sure my wife and I did play NTN there in 1997, and got the evil eye from whoever was the regular winner at the bar when we stole his top trivia score spot for the night.
