Stephanie Parks Our featured player this month is our moneymeister (aka treasurer), Peter Godfrey. While living in London, Peter was first exposed to Bridge when his parents played social bridge with their friends whom, he notes, was the only time they ever argued; however, their friends were even worse — hurling nasty insults across the…
Stephanie Parks This month we are welcoming one of our newer arrivals — Jim Wolf. Jim and his wife Sue moved to SaddleBrooke just three months ago in May from Denver, Colorado, where they lived for the past 42 years. Jim worked in IT for the Aerospace Industry until he retired in 2010 when he…

There are no big tournaments coming up in July or August, so everybody come to our game and keep your wits sharp. We had…
Stephanie Parks Spring just can’t stop springing, what with the weather we’ve been having. I’m sure it will be warm soon enough for most of us. Before anything else, I want to congratulate Terry Coe who went and saw and conquered the field at the Mesa Regional often enough to become a Life Master! Well…
