We also offer a monthly mentor/mentee game in which players ranked as Life Masters or higher volunteer to play with beginners and novices:' Retired dentist Willie Winokur of West Bloomfield and a bridge direc- tor says, "It's difficult explaining the fascination we duplicate players have spending three hours in a game try- ing to solve bridge problems. Figuring out how to describe a hand to your partner with a vocabulary of only 15 words and then determining the logi- cal solution to play the hand requires thoughtful efforts:' "I recall an incident years ago at the Metropolitan Bridge Club in Oak Park when a kitchen fire started in the restaurant next door and smoke came pouring into the bridge club. The firemen tried to get the players to exit quickly, but a few refused to leave until they finished the hands they were playing. Total immersion:' Marty Hirschman, 64, of Southfield, a top Michigan player, is editor of Table Talk, the official publication of the Michigan Bridge Association. He taught his two sons to play bridge, resulting in Sam earning his Life Master in 1988 at age 11 and Dan earning his in 1994 at age 10. "Dan's record stood for 10 years, but today 71 is the national average age for a bridge player:' Hirschman says. "Bridge isn't attracting younger people because there's so much com- peting entertainment. We're hoping that the many incentives for new players offered by the Connection will increase the number of younger people playing here:' Jonathan Fleischman, 26, a Southfield attorney, is working to earn his license for teaching bridge. He won a national event with the U-M bridge team and continues to compete with his teammates. "The Bridge Connection offers a good environment, where people know how to behave well and the directors do a good job of keeping the games going:' he says. "I always feel I'm among friends when I play bridge. I can have a terrible game, but still have a good time with the other players:' Janet Abramson-Borson, 86, of West Bloomfield says, "Bridge is my therapy. I play three or four times a week at the Connection and forget the world around me when I'm play- ing. The game is challenging, and the people I play with are my extended family:' When there were no computers, TVs, cars or telephones, people came together to shmooze and play card games. Bridge is a game that is part science and math played strategically with multiple tactics and melded together with the camaraderie. The players at the Bridge Connection are doing their best to expose others to the challenges and enjoyment of bridge and to keep the game alive. ❑ For more details, call (248) 356-6254 or go to www.mibridgeconnection.com .
