What I Did on My Summer Vacation (WIDoMSV) Part II: In June of 2021, Tony Gill published two short pieces over at the American Institute for Economic Research: "What's the Matter with Cambridge?" and "Taking a (Lemonade) Stand for Free Enterprise."
On Sunday, October 3, Tony Gill won the first-ever Beer Stein Holding competition at the Valley House Brewery in Duvall, WA. He was one of ten contestants who chipped in for charity (Duvall Historical Society) and the second oldest competitor (with most contestants in their 30s). The contest was designed to see who could hold a 3 lb glass stein filled with a liter of beer (~2 lbs) with a straight arm the longest.
