Generous George wrecks contract in bridge lesson tale
In a syndicated bridge column a declarer misreads a diamond finesse with Generous George as a steward holding both ace and queen. George discards to cost two critical tricks, leaving South unable to cash diamonds. The piece illustrates how a single misplay alters the rubber and score, with analysis of the ensuing play. Separately, the Wide Annual Banquet notes Calvary Methodist class at Peter Pan Inn on May 5 with 14 members and a guest visitor, planning the next gathering at Braddock Heights on July 12 at 6 pm.
