Roger Anderson is wonderful at sending me little bridge tidbits now and then. His latest gifts are some photos from a few years back - 41 to be specific!
Shots of some of our best and brightest circa 1977. It was a very good year!
Thanks, Rog!
Back when ACBL's Bulletins reported on sectional tournaments!
Some of our old timers will recognize a few of these players. Your webmaster is an "old timer" - yet even I only am familiar with some in the photo.
Jim Hugstad - "Z" as he was fondly known ... along with Iowa's famous "Hip Shooter".
Dave McGee was also President of the ACBL some years back. A character and a very talented player!
Four of our top Minnesota players when they were youngsters!
Only Terry Borne still resides in the Land O'Lakes....
And a shot of the famous "Rangers" - one of Minnesota's very tough teams back in the day.
Three of the Rangers have lived in Chicago for many years - Steve Garner, Dick Melson and Dave Lehman. We still see Steve's name up in lights quite frequently. Dick and Dave show up now and then at NABC's.
Howie Weinstein is now residing in California. Still a super player and involved in other aspects of bridge, too.
Larry Oakey? I assume most of us are like me; we shall miss this fabulous player and super person 'till the end of our days....
A wonderful "blast from the past", Roger .... and a lot of "when we were young" too!
