Got my first issue of Poker Digest; it's June Field's return to poker magazine publishing and it is fun to read. Also in it is Gene Trimble's initial column. Can't tell you what he says because the Magazine threatens all sort of punishment if anyone reproduces, stores, retrieves or transmits anything therein. But I will risk prosecution to tell you that Gene's column, "Illegal Chips: A Collector's Dream" is worth the cost of the mag. Gene writes in his inimitable fashione on Kentucky illegals--and it's a fascinating historical piece. I have just one question, Gene. There is a picture of a most attractive young lady, Carol Trimble, as Tournament Director advertising the Rio's 2nd Annual Carnivale of Poker. Is this a Trimble Trimble?

Anyhow, poker fans, to learn about this very attractive upstart magazine, visit
