Zammuto History

The Zammuto Points Table

The Zammuto Points Table was originally built by Peter Zammuto, the late brother of Jim Jodie's mother, Angela (Zammuto) Jodie. Peter built the table as a young man, sometime in the 1950s-1960s, and it stood innocently in the basement of the Jodie household for many years. That is, until one day, when it was given to Jim Jodie by his parents.
As original members of the Pargon League, Pat Higgins and Jim Jodie were searching for an appropriate award to be given to the winner of overall season points. Something not as glamorous or royal as the Pargon Cup, but one which represents the stability and utilitarianism of an overall season points winner. When they found the Zammuto Points Table, they knew they found their answer.

Jim and Pat decided that the table needed a look worthy of the Pargon League, so they took it completely apart and stripped it of its former varnish. Days and days passed, and layers and layers of varnish were wiped away, birthing a new story for this simple table. New stain was applied in the same way that the many future stories of Pargon will be added to the table. It was then that Pat and Jim asked for the help of an outsider, Paul Mrotek. With his special skills, Paul engraved the name of the table into the bottom shelf of the table. Soon after, Paul was also asked to join the Pargon League as an official member. After the engraving, a final wipe down and a small ceremony, only then was it fit to be what it was destined to be: the Zammuto Points Table.
