I'm Just an old chunk of coal; but, I'll be a diamond someday.
Well I did as I pleased and I said what I thought . . .
So many abuses and no damn excuses
I've often been told that I'm one of that kind
Never put off until tomorrow what you can ignore forever

I'm not sure whether glory or masterpoints is first on the list, but I know learning to play better is definitely last.
It's not whether you win or lose. it's how you place the blame - Thanks to Judy Stein, Laporte PA
"No double, no trouble."
One advantage of bad bidding is that you get practice at playing atrocious contracts.

note: I write most of the personal messages (deaths, congradulations, illness, people leaving the area, etc.)that are posted here. However, I would rather that others submit messages to me because I am not very good at it. If you want something posted I will almost never refuse to post it. I think derogatory messages will be the only ones normally refused.

Those who played in the Sunday Afternoon NLM and in the Scranton Side Game also won points. Click on this link to see the results of the other games. I think that Frank Opshinsky has probably won enough silver points in the past week to become a life master.
Many thanks to David and Karen Wessell for hosting this years Jeanne Liese game - a lot of work for little reward.

Pat Feldhusen of Narrowsburg, NY who played for years in Honesdale and Scranton died on Saturday, January 24. Pat also directed games in Honesdale and had over 1200 masterpoints. Pat was one of the nicest people I have known. The last time she played in Honesdale was in November of 2007. I am sure she will be missed. OBITUARY

(01/07/2009)
Calling all Unit 120 bridge players! Never will you have a more convenient place to try to earn those coveted gold points than in Scranton during the first week in March.
That’s when our Tournament Chair Ray Depew and his talented team of volunteers will present the Steamtown Regional at the Scranton Hilton (see schedule elsewhere on this site as well as in latest “4 Spot”).
There are flighted knockouts all week and special sessions daily for intermediate/newcomers. Get your partner and teammates together now and make your plans.
If you’d like to help, volunteers are needed 1 ½ hours before each session for various tasks. All desks are closed during game times, so you won’t miss a hand. Let me know when you can help (408-9821).
Our Unit Tops in District 4
Heartfelt best wishes for a healthy and enjoyable 2009!
Walter S. Mitchell, Jr.,
President Unit 120, ACBL
