I/N Spotlight: Mentorees Joe Browan is a gold life master who is mentoring Carrie Kaplan, a novice player. He has been mentoring her for the past 9 months and says “Along with watching her become an excellent player, it has been a great experience as it has forced me to refresh my memory on bridge basics. He emphasized that he never teaches her anything she doesn’t want to learn. Carrie says, “Joe has opened up a whole new world of bridge for me. He has been a great teacher. I would recommend any novice to get a mentor – you learn so much. We hope other expert players consider mentoring.
