RIP Darlene Riely
While I was at the Swiss Teams event yesterday, I discovered that local expert (and my sometimes bridge partner) Darlene Riely died of a respiratory infection a little over a month ago.
I've known Darlene for 20 years, and she was hilarious and vivacious, as well as a hell of a player. Bridge is now mainly played by retirees and elderly ... but Darlene was only 67. It's amazing that we live in a world where dying at 67 seems tragic; but we do, and it is.
