He has undergone a variety of medical treatments and is struggling to make it against long odds. Given those circumstances, one might ask what the 57-year-old is doing at the Toronto NABC. Cowan’s answer: “Dealing with it as best I can.” One of the best ways for him to cope, he says, is to play bridge. Although he is not nearly as sharp as he was before he was stricken, Cowan still plays with the dedication that led him to about 20 Summer NABCs in a row, playing mostly with regular partner Steve Becker. The two have played together and won numerous events since they started in the Seventies. They played the first two qualifying sessions of the Life Master Pairs earlier in the tournament and, despite Cowan’s condition, were only slightly below average in each session. “The doctors seem to think bridge is good for me,” Cowan says. The sentiment is echoed by his wife, Edna. “It exercises his memory,” she says, Phil Cowan, center, his wife, Edna, and longtime friend Steve Becker Continued on page 4 CEO Silber to leave ACBL Levin-Weinstein break string David O.
