I am truly excited to attain the rank of Silver Life Master in bridge.

My entry into the world of duplicate bridge began some nineteen years ago upon my retirement from optometry. My wife and I would take long walks together and as we walked, she’d explain various conventions to me. And so began our lives as bridge partners and eventually certified bridge teachers both at home in Utica, NY and on ten bridge cruises.

While competitive running (I’ve run six marathons), and autocross racing continue to be two of my avocations, at the age of eighty-one, I know that bridge will keep me challenged long after I drop running and car racing!
