Bridge is in C.R. woman's blood 90-year-old still spends free time teaching card game
Irah Vater, 90, has taught bridge in Cedar Rapids for 60 years after starting with YWCA lessons in 1943. She learned the Goren system, mentored local players, and still teaches and plays when not visiting homes. Her late husband left time for bridge, and she encourages patience and confidence in learners.
