First I offer my heartfelt condolences to Bob Stotts. I was shocked and saddened when I heard that Mary, his wife of a lifetime, had died at the end of March. May the pain of grieving her loss be cushioned by the caring of good friends.
Our bridge contingency at the April Sectional made us proud. 394 players won 1771.22 silver points from .22 to 29.37 each, including 24 MountainView members, nine of whom earned more than seven points: Stephen Maltzman, 14.37; Donna DePesa, 11.73; the Mayfields, 11.5; Marie Heald, 11.44; Dick Quigg, 9.96; Stephen Pozer, 7.89; Marian Wilson, 7.85; Sarah Baumann, 7.43 and Bob Murray, 7.14. Congratulations to all.
Since we all got to the game of bridge in different ways and think about the game differently, I like to share the perspectives of others by telling various stories of their relationship with bridge. I would appreciate anyone who will to send me an email with their Story of Bridge to include. I will rewrite or edit what I receive as necessary, but will always submit the final version to its subject for approval. Stay tuned for John Wolfe’s Story; he still uses snail mail so I’m waiting for it.
