NORMAN KAY PLATINUM PAIRS

I am honored and elated that the above event is going on at the Nationals as I write. According to the Bridge Encyclopedia ..
Kay was arguably the greatest bridge player who never became a world champion. He was known for both the remarkable accuracy of his card play and for his even temperament at the table. Away from the table, he was widely respected as an exceptionally kind and humble gentleman.
He and Edgar Kaplan were partners for the better part of forty years and it is fitting that they both have been honored (with the above for Norman and the Blue Ribbon Pairs for Edgar).
Right on!
Come to think of it, are there events named after other great stars like Roth, Goren, etc.?
I played in this event, and I thought it was great fun. We had screens in the finals and played every other pair.
It was GREAT to play a pair game with screens (Blue Ribbons finals have them too).
i can’t tell you how much more fun it is for me — not to mention my partner — to have screens.
