The Death Thread

Most of the people I know who play bridge are old. I am old. Five players have died this summer and one is terminal. My daughter says I need to get acquainted with younger people. While I was not close friends with any of those I've referred to, I knew them fairly well. Betty, Judy, Sharon, Lolita, Elaine.

My neighbor, Joe, died, too, but, he didn't play bridge. He had ALS and was only 65. He's been gone about a month and was doing fairly well until 2 months before dying, then he began falling because his legs would just fold up. Then, he couldn't stand up and then he was gone. I'll miss him, but, not his habit of getting on his riding mower at 7 AM and mowing for an hour. )))))))
