The grand champion of the January 2011 League is first time league winner Phoebe from Indiana. She is now the #2 champ from Indy after PJ. Another deaf friend, Jean Ann, should be next. They have been playing SpiteNET together for 10 years!

Skipbo has been her favorite card game since the 80s. She had a handheld Skipbo game that died, leading her to search for another solution to satisfy her addiction. Fortunately, a web search brought her to SpiteNET. [...and that's how people usually discover that Skipbo is just a commercial version of the traditional Spite & Malice game.]

Phoebe is a retired legal secretary and vending machine operator.

Phoebe and her husband Paul have been married for 21 years and they have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. They are looking forward to their son's HS graduation and then traveling from coast to coast once he's settled.
