I have to open with the passing of one of our most beloved and stalwart
unit members and a fierce competitor at the bridge table, *Sandra
Franciscus*. I don't know the full story of Sandra's history with our
unit, but I know she was a frequent volunteer in its administration. The
games here will not be the same without her.
Our Unit Games every other Sunday (or so) continue to be well attended.
In our first February game, February 13, we had nine full tables (not
bad for Super Bowl Sunday). We had just learned of the passing that
morning of Sandra, and you'll notice in the results that the game was
named the Sandra Franciscus pairs in her honor. Winners N/S were
*Cathryn Martin* and *Diana Borgatti* (69%!) and E/W were *Carolyn
Cohen* and *Patrick Cardullo*.
We have another February game scheduled for Sunday, February 27, and
with our column deadlines coming up, I don't yet know how that game will
turn out. I'll report next month.
For March, our games will be on the same dates, March 13 and 27 at the
Arcadia Bridge Center. With limited space, reservations are required!
Call Miriam Harrington to save your spot, (626) 232-0558. As always
proof of vaccination is required, but if we're lucky, maybe these will
be our first games without a mask requirement for vaccinated players
(which would be everyone).
Unit Game results are posted on both ACBL Live for Clubs
https://my.acbl.org/club-results/905596 and The Common Game https://
<https://thecommongame.com/ClubWebHost/905596/>thecommongame.com/ClubWebHost/905596/.
The club name is "Unit 559" which you can use as a search on Live for Clubs.
This month we have two major milestones to announce in rank advancements.
*Lisa Walker* is now a Life Master and Bronze Life Master. *Morris
Jones* is now a Gold Life Master.
I'd like to tell a story about when I first became a Life Master, living
in Campbell, near San Jose, CA. A friend who was a tournament director
and experienced player, was introducing me to some other friends at a
tournament.
He said, "This is Mojo, he's new to Flight B."
It was a humbling thought and a reminder of how much bridge awaited me
on the journey. I've spent a lot of that time learning to compete in
Flight B.
Now that I'm newly in Flight A, I know that I have to learn to play this
game at another level. I wouldn't have it any other way.
And Lisa -- welcome to Flight B!

Good Morning, Friends,
I just got a call fromLinda Stuart. She is supposed to bring food for Sunday but will not be there. I have come down with a cold and will not be able to be there either. Is there someone else who would be willing to do a last minute? Our budget is $50.00 and pretty easy to fulfill. Please let me know. Mojo, I’ll have to rely on you to be upfront as well as direct. So very much appreciated.
