There have been so many great, compassionate, knowledgeable, bridge directors over the years but probably my favorite of all time was Muriel Hipsch. What a character. Muriel Bridge was an institution as a bridge club owner and director. |
Muriel Bridge Circa 1960's, 1970's, 1980's |
When I started playing in 1966 Muriel had already been directing for some number of years. Her games were Wednesday night, Friday afternoon, and Saturday night. Her games were the biggest. The reason why is not hard to understand if you played in them. If you were on her call list, then you got a call and were hounded by her until you capitulated. There was almost no excuse accepted for not playing that she would accept short of being on an IV drip or on a ventilator. Once I was at a staff meeting and the secretary was told that there were to be no interruptions. She called and told the secretary that this call was an emergency !! She was put thru to the meeting and was unrelenting until I agreed to play in all of her games. Wow ! What persistence and chutzpah !! |
