Doug "JC" Penney turned 50 this past year (2000) and some of us got together to give him a tribute at the Lodi tournament. What follows is a collection of quips about JC (all in jest, but some sadly true) which correspond with each letter of the alphabet. We came up with these on relatively short notice so if you have a better quip for any letter, let us know and we can add to the list. Read on and enjoy.
