  1. Uh, excuse me, but I do not believe it is
    "unprecidented". Susan Butcher won three times in a row: 1986, '87, and '88 And Doug Swingley got three in a row: 1999, 2000, and 2001.

    Surprisingly, Rick Swenson did not get three in a row despite winning five times.

  2. Joated - you're right. I made the mistake of listening to a radio commentator instead of checking it out for myself. My bad - and good call on your part. Thanks.
