As one of our tribal elders, David Kappel Knecht has promised to write us a history...please feel free to mail him with great moments you feel should be included!
Generation #1 (early 1980s)
Generation #2, sometime that same decade -- note that most of these people are still playing today!

They allow Zen at tournaments! Below: Blacksburg Tournament from 1994. In the words of Jon Carnes, "Most of our team arrived late the first day, but we kicked butt the second day. There was a moderate breeze and we played a zone "D" and completely shut-down the "O" of the three teams we played. Dennis "Huck em" Hall, Graham "Mr. Intensity" Poor, Reb "The Merciless" Bradford, Sunny "Spirit Guide" Lo, Eileen "Way Back" Shea, Jon "In Yo Face" Carnes, Donna "Homey" Butler?, and on the ground: Anthony "Good Times" Burgess."
We're famous! (Infamous???)
Zen was featured in the N&O in 1996.
Our Heroes!
(Okay, so they don't play Ultimate as far as we know, but we're sure they would if they knew about it and they have some awesome battle cries!)

Jokes:
The Zen Master goes up to the hot dog cart and says," Make me
one with everything." The hot dog vendor fixes a hot dog and
hands it to the Zen Master, who pays with a $20 bill. The vendor
puts the bill in the cash box and closes it. "Where's my change?"
asks the Zen Master.
And the vendor responds, "Change must come from within."
