Bridge is my number 1 passion in life (after the welfare of my family). I started playing duplicate bridge in a beginner’s game at my local club almost 15 years ago. My first tournament was a regional one in Cherry Hill in a venue that no longer exists. My partner and I were entered in an “under 5 points” category. We won and I still have the glass that was embossed with Winner! District 4 Regional.

We rarely went to tournaments because my partner had no interest in traveling for bridge. I received a sprinkling of red and silver points, mostly through  STaC games at our local club. When COVID hit, my partner did not want to play online so I found a partner who was interested in doing so. We clicked, studied our game together, and took a few sets of lessons once COVID was over. We became more serious players, discussing the hands we played each week once they appeared online.  We also began traveling to District 4 tournaments and discovered that we enjoy the camaraderie and the competition. In my most recent tournament in Rehoboth Beach, I became a Life Master.  Now I would like to help my partner achieve this goal as well.
