A team comprised of Ron Anderson, Carmen Erickson, Bob Walstad and ex-Minoters Roger Hartgrove and Jim "Kingfish" King won the second event at the United States Senior Championships  held in Bemidji, Minnesota. The team reeled off  four straight wins on the brilliant shotmaking of Walstad and Erickson and the machine-like sweeping of  Hartgrove and the Kingfish. Stellar shot calling by the veteran Anderson made this unit invincible as they mowed down the competition and amazed the spectators. Men were crying and women were fainting as they viewed the carnage left by this well oiled unit of precision and perfection. The only thing that could  stop them and did stop them was the end of the bonspiel. As the team left town and the Bemidji Curling Club lay in smoke and ruin, one of their competitors was heard to say, "Who the hell were those guys?"
