Los Alamos Bridge Tournament Director

The Los Alamos Bridge Club held its first sectional tournament in five years, co-hosted by the Bridge Club and the Betty Ehart Senior Center.

There were 58.5 tables and 65 players participating more than five sessions. Most of the players were from Los alamos and Santa Fe, but there were players from Albuquerque, Las Cruces and out of state.

Local players fared quite well, with Sig Lodwig, John Ruminer, Cliff Rudy, Jennifer Young, Earle Marie Hanson, Steve Kemic, Martin Cooper and Robert Sanders winning events. The largest masterpoint winner for the tournament was Neil Hunter from Santa Fe.

Integral in making the tournament a success were tournament chairman Martin Cooper, partnership chair Bobby Haynes from Española, hospitality chairs Laurie Walker and Bev Cooper and myself.
