It was truly a wonderful experience for me and fun, fun, fun.” 27 28 29 30 31 Celli added: “The most memorable hands for me were the two in a row in which I went into the tank on the bidding sequences. Although Bob gave 32 33 34 me every opportunity to make the right bid, I lost focus. It is a great experience applicable to life. We 35 36 37 have to stay focused on what we are called to do in order to run the race to reach our destinies.” Although Celli does not expect to play 38 39 competitively again – he feels obliged to concentrate on his foundation – he did 40 41 42 43 44 45 acknowledge that playing with Hamman stirred up some of the old passion for bridge. 46 47 48 49 Hamman notes that Celli could make a comeback if he wanted to: “It’s just a question of dusting off the cobwebs.” 50 51 52 53 Rona 54 55 56 continued from page 1 At the World Bridge Series in Philadelphia 57 58 59 last fall, Rona said he expects the system to be like having 50 simultaneous presentations at 60 61 62 home.
