Dear faithful bridge players,
We are going to have an open IMP game on Sunday, Sept 13 at 3:20 PM. Who
wants to play? Who needs a partner?
Last Sunday we had 5 tables in the open game and 13 tables in the
concurrent 499er game. First place earned 2.7 mps.
So please let me know if you want to play this Sunday.
This month we are featuring our Tuesday night director, Bob McBroom: Bob
learned bridge from his father. He did not get to play much until he went
into the Peace Corps in Ghana, West Africa to teach high school chemistry.
There he taught three other volunteers in the town to play. After the Peace
Corps, he returned to California where he married Kathy Flynn. They went up
to Davis and both started graduate school in chemistry at UC Davis. They
learned to play duplicate in Sacramento and Davis. Davis had a small game,
usually about four tables or so. Occasionally Chip and Jan Martel, multiple
world champions, would play to tune-up before the world championships.
After graduate school, Bob started a job in Anaheim working for U.S. Borax.
There Kathy and Bob played in the Santa Ana club and various tournaments
and became life masters. Bob also learned to direct there. After the birth
of their first child, they stopped playing. In 1993 they moved with Bob’s
company to Santa Clarita. Bob taught his son Alex to play and they played a
few times in Rand Pinsky and Kathy Swaine’s club but he never really caught
the bug. After about a twenty-year hiatus, they were finally able to play
again and started playing in the Valencia Bridge club. They have been
playing online for a few years, so the move to BBO was easy for them. Bob
also directed a few games locally so the move to directing for the Virtual
Club seemed interesting. Bob mostly plays with his wife, but another
favorite partner is Dave White, our director with all the wonderful jokes.
Bob retired from Borax in 2007 when the company moved to Denver, but he
teaches chemistry part-time at College of the Canyons in Valencia where his
wife is also a full-time chemistry professor.

Dear bridge friends,
We are having a game tomorrow, Sept 11 at 12:15 pm. Below is the
reservation list of players. Please check the list and send me any
corrections. I do my best but can use your help also. There are a couple of
folks looking for partners for tomorrow, so if you want to play and don't
have a partner, let me know. I do my best to match people based on ranking,
ability, and personality.
Today's game started late as one player was offline. It's a common problem
when players are using an iPad or iPhone. If you are using one of these
devices, having your browser open to another page will cause BBO to read
you as off-line. Your open BBO tab must be the active window.

Dear Unit 556+ bridge players,
Tomorrow we will be having a game at 10:15 am. Jackie Moor is looking for a
partner. Please send me any edits to the reservation list below.
I have moved to a new mail server (Thank You Mojo!!). I believe if you
reply to this email the reply will come only to me. We may require a little
tweaking of the options in the mail server. If I don't respond to your
email in a timely manner, email me directly. The reason for this change is
Gmail has started blocking all of my emails to large lists of bccs.
