Each of us has our own unique bridge story. Some of us learned as a child or in college; some of us took up the game in retirement. Some enjoy mostly social bridge at a local club. Others like to attend tournaments - and some play at the most challenging levels around.
There isn't a "right or wrong" way to choose the bridge activities of your choice. But what we all wish for the game is for bridge to continue to grow and flourish - irrespective of our personal goals.
As some of you know, I have the honor of being the "bridge coach" at one of our elite liberal arts schools, Carleton College. I am so delighted that students there are learning the game - and that a number of the students already have a passion for bridge, coupled with their talents.
One of the first Carleton players I met, Jackson Wahl, sent me this absolutely wonderful email! Not only is Jackson, along with his partner, Sarah Emmons, achieving remarkably well at our game - Jackson is embracing bridge to the fullest!
Please read Jackson's wonderful letter below. Big thanks to Teri and Chip for aiding Jackson in achieving this big goal - and to Jackson, for becoming a "bridge lover" AND director/promoter! The Greatest Game has captured Jackson - and - we hope his love lasts and grows for decades, as it has for many of us.
