Thank you very much for your kind e–mail of July 6, 2017 regarding the above. I am summarizing below my story on achieving this new status.
I started playing bridge in early 1970's. I became Life Master in 1975. I played bridge only occasionally until I retired in December 2007 from my job as an actuary. My bridge accomplishment since my retirement are summarized below.
• Ace of Club Unit 115: First in my category every year from 2008 to 2016
• Mini–McKenney Unit 115: First in my category every year, except one year, from 2008 to 2016
• Online Bridge District 3: First in 2014, second in 2015, and first in 2016
I congratulate you and ACBL on doing a great job in promoting the game of bridge.
