August, 2006 News
Added February 5, 2007. Jessie
Gilbert's Death. I wanted to do a follow-up report since at
the time of the initial reports of her death in July, 2006, it was unclear whether it
was accidental. I won't go into details; it
appears that Ms. Gilbert's father had been accused of sexually abusing
Ms. Gilbert and others girls. After Ms. Gilbert's death, two charges
were dropped against Mr. Gilbert. He was tried and found not
guilty on all counts against him on December 14, 2006. Wikipedia
has a biographical page on Ms. Gilbert along with a summary of the
events surrounding her death, with links to outside news sources.
A very sad sad event. We've lost a lovely young lady to the
fall-out from abuse that is all too common and all too often swept under
the rug. This makes me so angry.

Official Website - well, darlings, it's in Greek! I clicked on

I've put the final standings table on a separate
page.
