Let YneexpL13n. In 1974 I attended my first Bermuda Bowl midst the wonder of Venice and found when I arrived at my hotel that it was also occupiedby some SouthAmerican team.

This wRS how I met the Bxazilians, I found them very cITarming then who doesn't'P Rnd I en,"'oyedtheir exuberant, animated discussions. To finish third to two great teams from Italy Rnd U. S, was 8 fine achievement and "our" team was highly delighted. I see Cha-Cha and P, P. Gabriel .hagas ard Pedro Paulo Assumpcao! every year at the 8LuxdayTimes International but it was not until Monte Ca,rlo 3.976that the whole team reassemble. It was a personalpleasure to find the teaYn unchanged, either in personnelor friendship Busy with handrecordin~ iin the CIQ~edBooms I ~aw litt'le of my old friends albeit they won the match I recoxded when they were fn the Closed PQQYYT.

The match was ruled a draw. As you aH know, after a cliff-hanging finish in which italy last the last match to a Greekteam playing inspired bridge, Brazil took the team title. I erasalxeady established as non-playing mascct, but I figure tITRtthe daxiyrub- adownwxth The Brxd~eA?Grigthat I gavethem also helped.
