David Gibson (1951-2019) was the NASPA National Champion 2016 & 1994, the WGPO Champion 2019, and a 5-time NASPA Player-of-the-Year (2021, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015). Asheville Scrabble Club was pleased to call him one of our own as he drove up every other week from his home in Spartanburg, SC. David was the best example of sportsmanship, decency, and Scrabble expertise. We will remember the thrill and honor of playing with him.
