Thanks Iain. Perhaps the missing columns are hidden under Barry’s picture. I never knew that he and Bobby were identical twins. Live and learn 😉

Hi Steve,

Hi Bobby,

It just so happens that my sons ARE identical twins. They are mathematicians, and when each went to graduate school at the undergraduate school of his brother, people said “I thought you were going to graduate school elsewhere.” I admit that I never taught them bridge because it took me 7 years to finish undergraduate school. Guess what I was doing instead of going to class.

Gavin Wolpert has taught his 10 and 12 year old children to play bridge, and now they bug him all the time to play!

Hi Steve,

My guess is courting the beautiful and don’t forget, sexy women, but you were instead, blaming it on playing bridge.

And while Gavin has done the “perfect” thing for his progeny, others, many of them, need
to follow suit and follow up for them to “start spreading the news”, a method, if you can believe, which echoed off the mountainside and rumbled in the dell, back in the late 1930’s
and early 1940s (in tune with World War II) and acquainted both my older brother and I,
along with both Europe and the USA, with heaven.
