My bridge story is really a story about my Dad and me, which is why he is pictured with me. For my entire life, my Dad played bridge. Sometimes, I would tag along and watch and occasionally I’d caddy.

In 2020, my parents moved from Missouri to New York to live with my husband and I, leaving their friends and my Dad’s beloved bridge club and partner behind. I retired in 2022 and started playing bridge as a way to spend time with him and to learn the game that he loved so much. He’s been the best teacher and partner I could wish for and the time playing with him has been precious.
