 This fall will mark the 35th anniversary of Matt Stockman winning the Gold Medal in the Greater Chicago Tetherball Championships. In 1973, a young Matt was an unknown in the tetherball world out of Mrs. Elsworth's 2nd grade at PS 411. All that changed when the unranked Stockman went on an amazing run to become the "Titan of the Tether." His record of 20 lamdangles in a single match still stands today.  On October 6, 2006, Matt & Carol attended the Catalyst Conference in Atlanta where they were part of the Guiness World Record for largest pillow fight. Watch the video and see for yourself.
