Thanks for your congratulatory email on Bronze Life Master. I have had many good partners over time that have helped me with this achievement. For me it was a matter of being diligent in pursuing the goal. I did not start playing Bridge until I retired. I am thankful for the teachers in our club especially Wayne Mattern and Mark Hanlon. Interestingly, it was Mark Hanlon who was my partner when I got my Life Master and now again it was with Mark Hanlon that I got my Bronze life Master on a BBO club game that pushed me over the top. Mark is also the president of our club.
