Making full revisions with the knowledge that Tom probably hasn't
formatted the column yet, and can paste the latest. Here's the latest:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pasadena San Gabriel Unit
The unit was saddened this past month by the death of our long time
friend, supporter, and great bridge player, Peter Szesci. Peter was a
constant presence and supporter of the unit. He spent many years on the
unit board, including, I think, every officer position.
In Peter's honor, the Over-Under game will be known as the Peter Szesci
Memorial Over-Under game.
I'll never forget the time Peter called me on the phone before an
earlier Over-Under game years ago. "Hello Morris? This is Peter Szesci.
Do you know me?" Everyone knew Peter. He was calling to ask if I would
play as a mentor in the game, and of course I did.
If you're a non-Life Master, under 500 masterpoints, you can join us at
the *Peter Szesci Memorial Over-Under game* this month, on Sunday, July
23, at the Arcadia Bridge Center.
*Reservations are required!* You can register online by visiting the web
site for the Pasadena Bridge Club, and click on the Over/Under game link
near the top of the page. You can also email to
mojo(a)pasadenabridgeclub.com or phone (626) 247-4457. (Here's the
registration link:
https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/contact/over_under_game ) *Reservations
must be received by July 18.*
At 12:30, all partnerships will be formed by a random draw, and you'll
have some time to meet your mentor or mentee. Junior players are
encouraged to bring a favorite convention card, if they have one. All of
the mentor players will play your card. (This isn't the time to learn a
new convention!) The game will begin shortly after, probably about 12:50.
The Over-Under game will be our only unit game this month. Hopefully
you'll join us in Long Beach at the regional!
