Joe Grue left the Mini-Apple for the Big Apple quite a few years ago now. Still, in the hearts of all of us, he'll always been the little kid from Richfield with nerves of steel who adored bridge.
Joe still adores our game - and if anything, those nerves of steel have been fired in the hottest of ovens and become even tougher. Today, I learned from Steve Gaynor that Joe just became a Grand Life Master. To become a Grand Life Master, one must earn 10,000 masterpoints - and have a national title.
At 26, Joe is the youngest person in the history of the ACBL to achieve this distinction! Superbly done, Joe - though we all know that you have many great accomplishments yet unborn.
Interestingly enough, Joe is not the first Richfield High School graduate to become a Grand Life Master. Steve Garner did that a while back!
