I started playing bridge in college over fifty years ago.Always enjoyed the game but never really learned much about how to play. When I retired in July 2017, I decided to play bridge as a way to make new friends and perhaps learn the game. The bridge community of northeastern Pa. has been great at being mentors and ambassadors of bridge. many thanks to Beth Rosenthal,Joe Distini,George Mansour, and George Marcy for helping and teaching me the game and of course to my many partners. Looking forward to many more years of playing.
