The woman who ran our Tuesday Night Bridge Club for about five years died last week, but I don't know what from. I do know she suffered badly from Alzheimer's, which I was very distressed to learn. She had always been so sharp at the bridge table and once rolled up an 84% game against the best competition in town.

I am very pleased that the Millionaire community and our local duplicate bridge club supports the Alzheimer's Association. and I hope for both the bridge and the work promulgated by the Association will pay dividends for me someday. Thanks, Mr. Stone.
