NCAA Tourney Book Poof

Page 1

Dear Reader: This book documents documents the history of the Plonkey and Victor NCAA family basketball pool. The pool has meant a lot to all of us lucky enough to be connected to Lennie, through the Plonkey family, the Victor family or in some cases, both families. Some of us love basketball, some of us love winning the lottery, but all of us love Lennie because he has kept us connected as a family because of the thankless, never-ending effort to conduct this pool every year. The tournament has grown, our families have grown, but more than anything, Lennie has grown into a leadership role in our family that he may never have wanted or considered accepting. The voice that speaks to all of us in the letters compiled in this book is a voice of compassion and family authority. We have lost many of the leaders of both families since 1983. But because we find ways to stengthen and renew our ties to each other, we remain a strong family. This pool and Lennie’s effort to keep it going every year are a major reason why. Signed, The editors

This year the teams were drawn by: Aunt Nola, Uncle Ray, Jeff , Carol, Claire, Raymond & my son Scottie. Any complaints please see any of the above. For those paying attention we have a few new names this year. It has been a busy year for John & Patrice Plonkey. Welcome to Josh, April, and Jon. Danielle & Josh were married last September. Kevin & April are planning on getting married this August, while Andie & Jon have yet to set a date. As you will see, some years are kinder than others. Another ‘new’ name would be Gladys, Jeff & Mary Winter’s beautiful baby girl. Congratulations. It was great to see Aunt Lynda & Uncle Dave so excited. However, I have been wondering where you came up with the name? Yet another ‘new’ name would be on the other side of list. Congratulations to all those Michigan fans out there. It is good to have them back. Yet, we will miss Davidson this year. They brought a lot of excitement to some in the family not to mention the whole tournament last year. Hope all is well with you and your family, good luck in the pool, GO STATE!! (not necessarily in that order) (Sorry Ron & Martine) Lennie

This year’s teams were drawn by: Aunt Joanne, Aunt Nola, Uncle Ray, Claire Carroll, Raymond Carroll, & my son Scottie. As always, they should receive any complaints you might have with this years draw. All of us State fans knew it would only be a matter of time but it looks as if MICHIGAN IS BACK. They beat State twice this year & now enjoy a higher seed than the Spartans. Since, for some unknown reason, there seems to be a rather large number of Michigan fans in the family, on behalf of my fellow Spartans we congratulate you. Good Luck. Good Luck also to those Georgia, Texas, & San Diego State fans out there. Having ‘your team’ in the tournament always makes it a little more interesting. Last fourth of July a group of us traveled down to South Carolina to the Winter Plantation to celebrate Monica acquiring her MBA degree. What a celebration. The endless barbeque, swimming, boating, dancing, euchre tournament, with their family & friends was a weekend to remember. They truly out did themselves. It was a fantastic party. Now the Winters are coming to Deeetroit. We have planned this weekend around the NCAA basketball games. This weekend schedule is as follows: Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

Lennie & Maureen’s house Jeff & Carols house Scott & Kathy’s house 11:00 mass at Fr. Ron’s church (St. Athanasius)

Games start around noon each day & we will go until the beer is gone. Uncle Dave, Aunt Lynda, Dave & Jen, Henry, Annabell, Ron, Jeffery, Monica, & Chris will all be in town. Everybody is welcome to join us any day. We will be watching basketball games, playing card, but mostly enjoying the gift of family. Good Luck Go State Lennie.

An exciting time of year for many of us. This year’s teams were drawn by Kate, Rachel, & Patrick Wozniak, along with Raymond & Scottie. Thanks. Those also grateful are those who received number one seeds. Jeff Plonkey – Syracuse, Gladys – Michigan State, Monica – Kentucky, & Lynda Fecteau – North Carolina. Last year the Winter family extended their family tradition (they have been getting together the first weekend of the tournament for several years now) to the rest of us. Thus last year, the Winters (along with the Brown family) traveled to Deeetroit the first weekend of the tournament. To say that the weekend was a success would be understating the fact. We celebrated four days with basketball, trash talking, euchre, food, drink, but mostly FAMILY. It was great. So much so that we planned on doing it again this year. Do to life’s commitments & responsibilities however, many that came last year are unable to make the trip this year. Still, Aunt Lynda, Uncle Dave & Monica will be in town this weekend and we are looking forward to another (albeit smaller) version of last year’s gatherings. The agenda will be similar: Thursday night at the Victors, Friday night at the Carrolls, with the Wozniaks hosting Saturday’s games. All are welcome to join us any day that you can make it. Since we probably won’t be able to do the larger version of this party every year, maybe we can still do it every once in awhile. We can work on it. Last year I was presented a book put together by David & Monica Winter, assisted by my son Bryan. It was a book dedicated to the Plonkey (& Victor) family pools that we have been doing for almost 30 years now. It contained among other things the list of teams along with the cover letters over the years. It’s hard for me to put into words my gratitude for all their effort. First of all, I recognize that it was a ton of work & I can only imagine the time & effort they put into the project. But what really makes the book meaningful to me is that it confirms for me the whole reason for doing this pool. It’s not really about basketball. It’s about family. I was hoping that for a couple of weeks each year, a family that is spread out all over the country would be in some way a little more connected. I think that this pool has accomplished that. I am extremely grateful to Monica & Dave for the book, which for me confirms my objective. Congratulations to Melissa (LaLonde) Sreckovic who has been accepted into the Doctorate program at the University of North Carolina. I believe she is studying autism. Another MSU grad making a difference in the world. It’s not just her parents that are proud of her. Speaking of proud parents (& grandparents). You might be wondering who Gabbie & Sofia Graniello are. They are the daughters of Josh & Danielle Graniello. Granddaughters of John & Patrice. John & Patrice, along with her parents Kevin & April, are expecting Violet Melanson due April 9th. We welcome the newest members of the pool. Monica Winter usually gets very excited this time of year. This year? More than most. Her two schools, Davidson (undergrad) & Belmont (grad school) both made this year’s field. Pretty impressive. However, she MIGHT have been upstaged by the above mentioned Melissa Sreckovic. She also has two schools in this year’s tournament. Two number one seeds. Michigan State & North Carolina. But I have never known Monica to get intimidated. You never now. That’s why they play the games. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not congratulate those who root for that team from Ann Arbor. Another good year for the Wolverines. Good luck to all. GO STATE Lennie Note: I am going to try to do this pool all by e-mail beginning next year. However, there are many in the family whose e-mail address I don’t have. If you could give me your e-mail address I would be most thankful.

Last year’s list of winners is filled with Mooney’s & Foxes, having no VerVacke’s and merely one Victor. I hope this year ‘you people’ will be a little more charitable. This year’s teams were drawn by Janice & Mary Ellen along with my sisters Karen & Lynda. You can thank them if you feel it’s warranted. Congratulations to Danny Mooney who last spring helped pitch his Cosby High School baseball team to the state of Virginia’s semi-final game in the state’s baseball playoffs. Danny is currently attending Davidson College in North Carolina where he accepted a scholarship to play baseball. Congratulations Danny, hope your college years are successful both on & off the diamond... Thanks to Tim Mooney who stepped up to coordinate our ‘Michigan State football Road Trips’. A group of around twenty of us traveled to Evanston last October to watch the MSU-Northwestern game. Being great parents, Greg & Marilyn met us there masquerading as Wildcat fans. After trailing by 17 points in a pouring rain, State came back to win a very exciting game. It was truly a great weekend. As far as I know, no one was arrested & no couches were set on fire. Ohio State & Northwestern seem to be the early favorites for this year’s trip. A word of caution to all my fellow Spartans. Rooting against Michigan will be prohibited this year due to the fact that Aunt Rosemary has the Wolverines. Finally, sadly, the whole Victor family suffered a tremendous loss last Friday with the passing of Uncle Remi. Asked to describe the typical Victor relative, most would reply; quiet, reserve, maybe even shy. Uncle Remi; not so much. Uncle Remi was larger than life. You always knew when Uncle Remi was around. He valued family, & was extremely generous to those in need. Personally, I know how proud my dad was of Uncle Remi and how he looked up to his little brother. Many of my favorite memories growing up are tied to the times spent at Lake Chemung. Aunt Mary & Uncle Remi always had a way to make you feel welcome. Talked to Dianne a couple of weeks ago. She told me how much Uncle Remi was looking forward to seeing Aunt Rosemary. As they have in the past, Pat, Marilyn & Barb drove Aunt Rosemary from Barb & Dave’s house in Ormond Beach the five hours to Naples to visit Uncle Remi. Uncle Remi was weak & in much pain, yet they had a beautiful visit. Uncle Remi was showing off Aunt Rosemary claiming she was his ‘baby sister’ to all those around. As she was leaving Aunt Rosemary told Uncle Remi she would be back. He replied. “Bring cards”. And then. “Bring money”. Classic Uncle Remi. Like his bothers & sisters before him, he was himself to the very end. Proud to be a Victor. Good Luck GO STATE Lennie.

Last year Joyce Biebuyck suggested that she & her sister Judy draw the teams for this year’s pool since the Foxes & Mooneys have dominated the win pool in recent years. Not that anyone ever questions our integrity. Thus, the get together at our house last Saturday night. We had a great turnout and it was nice to see so many of the cousins. Unfortunately, Joyce & Jerry were out of town & could not make it. Anyway, this year’s teams were drawn by Robbie Mooney, my son Scottie, Dave Mooney, Janice, Mary Ellen, Judy & Pat Soboslay. Those receiving number one seeds were: Cheryl Mooney - Kentucky, Aunt Rosemary – Michigan State, Andrew Perryman – Syracuse, & Bryan Victor – North Carolina. Congratulations to my godson Mike Fox who graduated from UD Law School last spring, passed the bar exam last summer & is currently gainfully employed as a lawyer. Anybody in the family who is in need of a young, smart attorney should give me a call. I’ll put in a good word for you. The list of SPARTANS in the family keeps growing. Courtney Fecteau graduated from MSU this past year. She joins the extensive list of family MSU alums which include (I hope I get this right & don’t miss anyone) Tim Mooney, Mary Ellen, Rob Mooney, Cindy Mooney, Dave Mooney, Paul Mooney, Cheryl Mooney, Lindsey Fox (Med School), Steve Fox, Vicki Fox, Matt VerVacke, Karen Biebuyck, Jim Victor, Pat Victor, Joey Victor, Janelle Hemme, Lisa Tieffrey’s son from Law School, my sister Lynda, my son Bryan, my wife Maureen & myself. Kelly Fox is set to graduate this spring. Colleen Victor is in her third year at State; Matthew Fox is a freshman and my son Scottie will head to East Lansing next fall. Michigan State has got a lot of the ‘Victors” money. Congratulations to Danny Mooney whose Davidson’s Wildcats made the tournament. Also congratulations to the above mentioned attorney whose undergraduate school (Marquette) and law school (Detroit) are both in this year’s field. My condolences to Aubrey Blanche who’s Northwestern Wildcats fell just a little short of qualifying. Some things in life are hard to understand. Other things in life just make a whole lot of sense. Aunt Rosemary getting Michigan State this year definitely falls into the latter category. The much respected and loved matriarch of our family getting our favorite team, Michigan State, sure makes a lot of sense to me. God I hope she wins. Good Luck GO STATE Lennie

MARCH MADNESS 2011 Photos of a family reunion that included good basketball, good food and good times


The Panthers really are the PITTs: Just how unbelievable was the end of Butler’s 71-70 upset victory over No. 1 seed Pitt in the third round on Saturday? We’ll always have this image to remind us.


RIGHT: Faymo dons green and white in lieu of maize and blue, but is it for St. Patrick’s Day or for his No. 1 grandchild? BELOW: Raymond and Mo enjoy a friendly game of euchre and a good laugh. Only Ray could find a green U-M shirt in sea of Sparty.

ABOVE: Scottie enthralls his elders as his dad checks out an early draft of this books along with Aunt Joanne, Lynda, Lynda, Carol and Karen. RIGHT: Brady reclines in Spartan style and comfort. His scowl is not a response to the Spartans’ first-half performance against UCLA. The game hadn’t started yet when this picture was taken.


The first draft of this book was a fixture at all three family basketball parties. LEFT: On Thursday at Lennie and Maureen’s, Lennie holds court with the book and a group of admirers: Claire, Ray, Scottie, and a pair of Lyndas. BELOW: On Saturday at Kathy and Scott’s house, Sandy peruses the book. The leaderboard to her left has a smart, attractive couple ranked one and two, but their stay atop the board was thwarted by Jeffrey who picked VCU and Butler in his 12 teams.

FAR LEFT: Hey Izzo, it’s never to early to recruit the next start point guard for State. Henry Winter, class of 2020, looks pretty good in green. ABOVE LEFT: Dave, Mo, Lynda and Maureen at Kathy and Scott’s on Saturday. ABOVE RIGHT: He looks like he’s playing ping pong, but Patrick was actually break dancing. NEAR LEFT: Laura, Jimmy and Aunt Joanne.


RIGHT: A rowdy pack of Bulldogs—Ron, Dave and Chris Winter—gang up on one brave Huskie, but the purple guy had the last laugh. Scottie’s team in the tournament (Washington) was top dog in this fight, leaving the Georgia faithful in attendance licking their wounds after an early tournament exit: Washington 68, Georgia 65. BELOW: Carol and Ron during a calmer moment between the Michigan and Georgia games on Friday at Carol and Jeff’s.

ABOVE: Poor Rachel was under the weather the whole weekend. Chris and Zach literally raise her spirits. NEAR RIGHT: Kate and Annabel start a dance party in Carol and Jeff’s basement. FAR RIGHT: Editors and subject pose with the book.


LEFT: One of these folks in not like the others—Kim, Uncle Dave and Janet. BELOW LEFT: Aunt Joanne, a Michigan Grandma, and Chris, a Michigan Man (at least until the Georgia game comes on later Friday evening) take a break from a euchre game to pose for a picture. BELOW RIGHT: A future WNBA back court (as long as the team has a pink as a primary color) gets some practice in on Saturday at Kathy and Scott’s.

LEFT: A Saint Patrick’s Day quartet of Henry, Ray, Zach and Claire. How could there be that much green clothing in one photo taken in Lennie’s basement without one MSU Spartan logo in the picture? Inconceivable. ABOVE: A wall of bracketology behind them, Father Ron and Maureen pause to pose on Saturday at Kathy and Scott’s.


FAR RIGHT: Raymond did better at Texas Hold ‘Em than he did in the tournament NEAR RIGHT: Mo, Lynda, Lynda and Denny Rae. BELOW: Ron gives Jeffrey a euchre lesson or was it the other way around?

ABOVE: The original Mike LaLonde with Aunt Joanne and Megan Fecteau at Kathy and Scott’s on Saturday. FAR RIGHT: The cheers for Georgia were worth the price of admission but could not net Georgia a win in their opening game on Friday. NEAR RIGHT: Henry and Jeffrey get the gist of March Madness.


FAR LEFT: Two lovely ladies, Carol Carroll and Jennifer Winter. NEAR RIGHT: Six Bulldogs (Ron, Kathy, Mo, Dave, Lynda and Chris) surround a lonely but ultimately happy Washington Huskie fan, Scottie V. BELOW: Scottie changed face paint and color schemes in time for the Capital One Bowl, where he (and his dad) had the last laugh on the Winter family yet again.

FAR LEFT: Aunt Lee, Jeffrey and Ron are all smiles at Kathy and Scott’s home on Saturday. NEAR LEFT: Basketball wasn’t the only game in town at Carol and Jeff’s on Friday. At least for this moment, Daniel, Henry and Patrick prefer their Nintendo DS screens to those featuring NCAA games.

Letters to Lennie throughout the years







Monday, March 16, 2009, 4:41 PM Lennie, Thanks for the usual great job on our family pool. I won't complain about the Winter family teams. This year looks like the most difficult to pick a winner. Three #1 seeds from the Big East. Give me a break! Uncle Dave





Friday, March 19, 2010, 8:49 AM Lennie, THANK YOU for keeping this tradition going. I do feel like we are all connected for this brief time every year. Dad always loved this and would sit with his magnifying glass and paper to follow all of our teams. He kept me posted as I don't even watch. We need to get you on Facebook. It have been fun reconnecting with everyone. Looking forward to seeing you in August. -HUGS, Georgia

Tue, Mar 16, 2010 10:18 pm Lennie: Thanks for disseminating the list and for organizing the family tournament as always. I'm sure Debbie and Ernest are most pleased to see that their fortunes have been so resoundly reversed this year (at least we Longhorns can hope). GO HORNS!!!! Go ... Blue Devils? I promise to root for Duke this year and only this year, no matter how unnatural that is to do. (Little) Dave
