Ed passed away on Friday evening, January 30, ten days after his 60th birthday. He is survived by his wife, Beth Fay; his mother, Mary Margaret Schultz; brother Rick and sisters Mary and Margaret. Originally from Beardstown IL, Ed graduated from the University of Illinois and played on the Fighting Illini football team. He worked as a real estate agent in Springfield IL before moving to St. Louis, where he and Beth worked together as mortgage brokers. Ed was an avid fan of Fighting Illini sports and had been looking forward to a trip to Champaign for the Illinois vs. Iowa basketball game on February 1. He was especially proud of his collection of Illini posters and memorabilia, which filled his family room and memorialized his beloved Chief Illiniwek. Ed also had a great fondness for animals, his rose garden, good books (one of his favorite authors was Ayn Rand) and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. He was a long-time supporter and volunteer worker for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the Wright home at Taliesin (Wisconsin) and the Dana- Thomas House in Springfield IL. After his friends and family, Ed's greatest love was the game of bridge. He was always ready to play anywhere, any time, and he earned numerous regional wins and overall places in national events. He played often in local clubs and tournaments with partners of all skill levels. He ended his career with around 7300 masterpoints, just a few hundred shy of Emerald Life Master status. Although he never won the national championship he aspired to, he was good enough to win one, and the title surely would have come if he had more opportunities. Ed endured many surgeries and treatment regimens during his illness, and through it all, he amazed everyone with his energy and upbeat attitude. In March 2007, four days after brain surgery, he played almost every day at the St. Louis NABC. A month before he died, he traveled to the Holiday Regional in Kansas City and won a four-session knockout teams with partner Tom Kniest. Two weeks later, he played in the sectional in St. Charles MO with his favorite partner, Mark Kessler, and placed second in the knockout teams. At the sectional, he was honored as the St. Louis 2008 Player of the Year for winning the most masterpoints at Unit tournaments. (See the photo and story in the Greater St. Louis Bridge News page in this issue.) Ed was a serious bridge competitor, but even in the highest level events, he always had fun at the table. All of Ed's partners have entertaining stories about his bridge exploits. Here's one, from a long-ago Chicago regional, that showcases Ed's skills in handling cards and people: Contract: A85 4H by South 987 Opening lead: J9742 4 Q5 Ed Me J64 10973 K65 32 65 Q1083 J9842 AK3 KQ2 AQJ104 AK 1076 Our opponent sitting South was an older lady who greeted us warmly when we came to her table. On this deal, she was declarer in 4H and Ed, West, led the 4. I won the K and returned the 2, ducked by declarer. Without a flicker of hesitation, Ed ducked, too, and dummy's 7 won the trick. Declarer then led dummy's Q, which I won with the A. I led my remaining heart and declarer, seeing an easy 11 tricks, took the "marked" finesse right into Ed's K. She became decidedly less friendly when Ed won the trick and led another heart, which took away her club ruff and her tenth trick. Totally flustered, she spent the rest of the play slapping her cards and glaring at Ed. When the hand was over, she turned to him and snapped, "How could you do that?", then proposed some "what-if-I-had-held ..." possibilities that would have made his play unsuccessful. Some players would have taken offense at her rudeness and perhaps retorted that she was done in by her own greed, but not Ed. He just gave her a shrug and a big smile and replied, "Well, then, I would have looked pretty silly, wouldn't I?" Incident over. It was that happy-go-lucky personality that endeared Ed to so many and brightened up every room he walked into. Our tournaments and club games will be a bit less lively -- and easier to win -- in his absence, but I have the strong feeling that "Fast Eddie" is still enjoying his favorite pastime. Somewhere, right now, he's probably playing his old Western Rabbit bidding system against the greats of the game and preempting his way to a heavenly championship. Congratulations, Eddie. -- Karen Walker District 8 Solvers Forum -- February 2009 by Kent Feiler, Harvard IL I'll be in St Augustine, Florida when this column comes out, so I thought I'd include some warm, soothing pictures for all of you that are freezing your District 8 whatchamacallits off in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Northern Illinois, plus some of our geographically farther away but still chilly solvers in Canada, UK, Iceland, Denmark, and Eastern Europe. And a moment of silence for Santa's Toy Factory which, as we all know, broke through the thinning ice at the North Pole and is now located at the bottom of the Arctic ocean. Although depressed and desolate, Santa has declared himself as now clearly being the owner of the North Pole, and he'll be making a comeback by selling oil leases and becoming the Western toll booth for the Northwest Passage. Anyway... Sunrise Nice time to take a walk. If you run into one guy walking his dog in the other direction, the beach feels crowded. A good time to ponder the complexities of Problem 1. Action Score Votes % Solvers 1. IMPs, Both Vulnerable 2S 100 8 24 West North East South Pass 90 7 44 1 Pass 1 ? DBL 50 1 24 As South you hold: AQJT75 AKQ9 J4 J 4S 30 0 3 3S 10 0 3 What's your bid? 2H 10 0 3 That annoying East stole our suit. With such a good suit we probably still want to bid it, the question is, how? BAKER: 2S. BWS plays this as natural. DODD: 2S. Natural in BWS. Sure, 4H may be cold if North has something like 10- sixth and nothing else, but how in the name of heaven do we get there? MAYNE: 2S. Clear-cut. This is natural in any sensible system, and I can bid hearts next. SPEAR: 2S. If this is not natural, change my bid to pass, and I will bid spades naturally next time. Yup, it's natural, so bidding spades isn't a problem, at least not yet, but as Tom points out, the real problem is the heart suit. We have so many HCP, we could end up in 2S cold for 4H. NELSON: DBL. I held this hand and know the results, that's why I sent it in. Hmm...she knows the results in real life and now DBLs. Sounds like partner had hearts. But that isn't what happens to me when I make a bid like DBL. Bob Bernhard tells that sad story. BERNHARD: PASS. If I DBL and partner bids clubs, all spade bids thereafter will sound like cue bids. I'll get another chance, this auction is not over. PAVLICEK: PASS. I play 2S as natural, but that's likely to end the bidding, perhaps missing a cold 4H. After passing I hope to make a takeout double of clubs or diamonds to see if partner can bid hearts, and if not I can still bid spades naturally. I was hoping someone would tell us how they thought the auction would proceed after PASSing. Scoring 2S and Pass cleaned up most of the panelist votes. Solvers also voted for 4S which is a reasonable shot, 3S which would be taken in most expert circles as asking for a stopper, and 2H which would make it impossible to ever bid spades naturally.

Chief Illiniwek Will No Longer Perform NCAA to lift sanctions on Illini athletics URBANA—The University of Illinois today announced that Chief Illiniwek will no longer perform at athletic events on the Urbana-Champaign campus after this season’s last men’s home basketball game in Assembly Hall on February 21. As a consequence, the University will immediately become eligible to host post- season National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship events. In a February 15, 2007, letter to the University, the NCAA stated that “[o]nce this action is taken, the university will be immediately removed from the list of institutions subject to the NCAA Executive Committee’s policy regarding Native American mascots, nicknames and imagery at NCAA championship events. Continued removal from the list is conditioned upon the university’s future non-use of ‘Chief Illiniwek’ and the related Native American imagery in connection with university athletics. “Assuming the announced changes are affected and assuming such use does not reoccur, the university will be in full compliance with the policy,” the letter stated. “Accordingly, the policy will not preclude the university from hosting or participating in NCAA championship events, should the university be otherwise eligible.” The NCAA letter was signed by Bernard Franklin, senior vice president for governance, membership, education and research services.

    PROMOTING the GAME of BRIDGE in SOUTH AFRICA THE BRIDGE Edition 13 Publisher: The S A B F December 2020 www.sabf.co.za Special Year-End Edition Ed.: Stephen Rosenberg [email protected] FROM THE PRESIDENT This year has been a very hard and sad year for our community. Many of us have lost family or friends, not always as a result of COVID-19, and our hearts go out to them and their families. And still this accursed plague hangs over us. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. With the announcement of the development of successful vaccines and their distribution in Europe and America over the coming James Grant months we will surely see a reduction in and eventually the eradication of this pandemic. The next few months are going to be the most trying for us, because we are letting our guard down not only as individuals but as a society. We have grown tired of the sanctions imposed on us and are now taking more risks. We are travelling more, we are visiting friends and families. Fewer people are wearing masks in public places, social distancing is no longer the norm, and we have convinced ourselves that perhaps after all we are immune to this infection. We only have to follow what is now happening in Europe to see the folly in this outlook. Personally, I would like to think that COVID-19 has forced us re-evaluate what is really important in our lives and those around us and that when we finally emerge from this trauma that has paralysed us as individuals and as a nation we will do so as a society kinder and less selfish than before, if only for a little time.

    PROMOTING the GAME of BRIDGE in SOUTH AFRICA THE BRIDGE Publisher: The S A B F Edition 11 www.sabf.co.za July 2020 Ed.: Stephen Rosenberg [email protected] FROM THE PRESIDENT But all the king’s horses James Grant And all the king’s men, Couldn’t put Humpty together again. Which is very much where our world is now. But in a way our community is luckier than most as bridge lends itself to this new virtual world we now live in much better than most sports. I have watched a couple of football matches played in stadiums empty of supporters and was amazed to hear the cheers and roars of approval in the background whenever a goal was scored. It was as if the match was being played in front of 60,000 spectators. I mean, who are they kidding? It puts me in mind of American comedy shows where the only indication that someone might have said something funny is the canned laughter in the background. But many of us wouldn’t be playing online at all if it wasn’t for the hard work put in by the likes of Malcolm Siegel, Andrew Cruise, Tim Cope, Steve Bunker and Andre Truter down in Cape Town, Heidi Atkinson and John Gibson in the Southern Cape and here in Gauteng our very own Rob Stephens who I swear would open up a tournament at 2 in the morning if he believed there was a demand for it. Not forgetting of course the granddaddy of all our directors, Sid Ismail who has been running tournaments on BBO for more years than I can remember.
