Nice cover pic of the introductory issue of the short-lived "Gammon" magazine, circa 1978, published by Buddy Berke.

The article is about prominent female players of the day.
I am familiar with the following ladies... Mary Zita Jacoby, Marie Reynolds, Lee Genud, Lynn Goldsmith and Nancy Weischel but not the following..
Faye Schwimmer
Lilli Gross
Barbara Houston
Valerie Deeds
Any little snippets of info on these ladies would be appreciated.

There is a Facebook group called Backgammon Memorabilia that would love to see this, and would likely have info on the people.
