Tournament co-chair Kim Holm said about 600 players from Nova Scotia to Florida participated in the weeklong District 4 regional hosted by the American Contract Bridge League. Primarily, the players were from Virginia, Washington, D.C.,

Do you know the game “OH Hell”?

 

The idea of hosting a big Oh Hell tournament for charity has been simmering on the back burner of my mind’s stove for years.  I’m interested in starting small and allowing it build an irresistible momentum over the next ten years or so.  If you play, let me know.

    I smell “Slam Dunk At The Beach”. Having said that contract bridge beats Yodel Fest 5,000, which I would probably pay to see. Up to a point.

      Spook had a chain of Donut Shops in Milford and beyond. Fun fact, who was Bobby’s paid Security head cop for all his years at the Slam Dunk?
      You guessed it, Pete Schwartzkopf!
