- A "Thank You" Would Be Nice !
- Am wondering if there is some documentation that the functions of Unit Recorder and Unit Disciplinary Chair were not being well carried out.Were any Unit Recorders or Unit Disciplinary Chairs involved in the extensive debate referred to by Robb? Might be good as well to have a debate about ...
- A "Thank You" Would Be Nice !
- I remain of the opinion that eliminating these positions is a retrograde step... one of a series of same. The first was taking away the right of club players to send reports/complaints to their Unit Recorder or Unit Charging Party (except in cases of serious breaches of ethics). Now ...

- Thanks, Fred Gitelman
- Happy retirement to a dear friend....who never forgot his friends. Will miss you at BBO, but very best wishes to you and Sheri for a happy and fulfilling retirement. I still remember the generosity when you bought team jackets for your international team back in Unit 166 days...always ...
- What killed American Bridge--a Poll from the Year 2040.
- When bridge was really popular it was contract bridge played at home. From this pool of home players, and their children, came those who played duplicate contract bridge at clubs and tournaments. When the number of two parent homes began to decline, and home situations became less stable, the pool ...
