March 7, 2009 - Tucker once again was a member of Unionville Elementary's competitive Odyssey of the Mind program. It is a very big deal to be chosen as one of the twenty-eight students that comprise four teams. They start working in October for their regional event at Wingate University. This year Tucker and his cousin Betsy were on the same team. Their problem was to explain two documented superstitions and to create one of their own. The real challenge was to produce a transformation of scenery. In their case, a cruise ship backdrop becomes a life boat and finding a pirannah's tooth saves the day! The team placed 2nd at regional and are preparing for the state competition which will also be held at Wingate University on April 4. Cross your fingers for some good luck!
