In honor of Paul Soloway
 Paul Soloway was
one of the greatest players (and more importantly, human beings). I'll miss him. He was my
teammate when the U.S. defeated Europe in the first Ryder
Cup of Bridge in Dublin, Ireland.
At the top right of the back row I am standing next to Paul (wearing the jacket). In
memory of Paul, the ACBL has attached his name to a most prestigious award. More in the
following article.

 Even though Paul
would often win the most masterpoints in the year, he always scoffed at its importance.
"Masterpoints are an attendance award," he would humbly tell me.
However, there is one masterpoint category that Paul respected:
PLAYER OF THE YEAR

1- and 2-day Florida bridge
seminars  This is busy
teaching season in Florida.
I'm giving 1- and 2-day seminars throughout the state of Florida. If you (or any
intermediate-level friends) are interested, please look
at the cities and dates. I use Fred Gitelman's popular graphics (which will be
familiar to any BBO
players).
