Judy – happy anniversary to you & Bobby. What a great story – and evidence that, whether at the bridge table or elsewhere – we should NEVER give up!

I resisted bridge for many years. As a teenager and college student, I was a very serious chess player, and I’d noticed that my friends who learned bridge stopped playing chess. So it wasn’t until I was pretty well ready to leave the chess world that I allowed some friends to rope me into their bridge game. I read and reread Reese’s little Penguin ‘Bridge’, and that was the start. When I got to graduate school, my thesis advisor happened to be a keen player, and we formed a partnership — for 3 years we terrorized the University bridge club, and had fun at local tournaments. Then I moved to Toronto, and fell in with a really bad crowd — a bunch of people whose lives basically revolved around bridge, and who seemed to live at the local bridge club (one of two or them really did sleep there, I think). I won’t mention names, but the group did include my future wife There were some seriously good players among them, as well as no shortage of mentors to compete against and look up to — Murray, Kehela, Bruce Gowdy, Don Cowan, Shorty Sheardown, and Bruce Elliott among others — who could fail to improve playing against these guys, and listening to them talk about the game? Now 30-40 years later, many of those young people have gone on to play for Canada and win WBF medals and national titles. Most of us managed to have real lives too, I should add — but that probably doesn’t stop any of us thinking nostalgically about those salad days when we first got hooked on this incredible game — a game which I, for one, am still trying to learn.
