Here, the two friends re-enact the scene, but Byron claims Cam's eyes were just as big as his own! See story for details. A once-in-a-lifetime cribbage hand fo Saying that Cam MacMaster and Byron Holtby like to play cribbage is a pretty big understatement. These guys love a good game of crib, and play faithfully, just about every day ---- especially in the winter. : Both Cam (a retired veterinarian) and Byron (a retired farmer) live on the same street in Port Perry, and there's nothing they like better than sitting around Byron's kitchen table over a crib board. + Cam's been playing for 42 years, and in that time, he's never had a perfect hand. Neither has Byron, for " that matter -- which is why both gentlemen were tickled pink when Cam came up with A Perfect Hand, the big 29 points, the be-all-and-end- all of cribbage, the equivalent of a hole-in-one in golf. "You should of seen ole Cam's eyeballs when he saw his hand," Byron says with a comfortable chuckle.

With the Jack of Spades, and all four fives, he counted himself 29 points and a victory against his pal Byron. Despite the fact it's extremely rare to see A Perfect Hand, Cam - was a little shy about telling the Port Perry Star. But he figured since the Star prints photos of hole-in-ones all the time, A Perfect Hand rated a snap- shot as well. Obviously, the folks at the Star agreed. Way to go, Cam!
