It has been quite an adventure getting to this point.  A few years ago I was grandfathered as a Life Master and I felt I had really not earned it.  I wanted to reach 500 points and 50 Gold like my friends had done.

For a long time I needed just 4 Golds and then I got 21 of them in one tournament to make me a “real Life Master.” Gold points have seemed much easier after that but amassing 1,000 total points has taken me a while and I am pleased to have done it.
