Mary, you are being far too modest. You absolutely deserved the win--given your gender, intellect, and overall game-playing skills, you had a lot to overcome.
For the sake of anyone reading this who does not understand or appreciate humor, Mary has again proven herself as a major force in backgammon. The Florida field was filled with Giants and World Class players, and though it does take good dice for anyone to win, it also takes tremendous skill to prevail against this kind of competition.
But I also respect Mary highly not just because she is a great player--she adds much to the game with her articles, pictures, and as a teacher, and she is unselfish in sharing her skills and knowledge with anyone willing to take the time to listen to what she has to say (and sometimes, that is not a small commitment).
