Lail returned to bridge
in 2019 at 72 after
a 40-year absence
when his adopted
daughter left for
college and he sold
his business. " I have
learned that for many
players in the bridge
world, it is a serious,
intense game. For
me, it is not. "

ANN GALVANI
667.02 points

Galvani returned to
bridge in 2019 after a
45-year hiatus. Eager
to catch up learning
modern bridge, she
turned to playing with
professional teachers.
Advancing required
overcoming a brain
injury that ended her
career. She found
online play improved
her learning in several
ways. For regionals,
she required her pro
partners to adhere
to rules about no
teaching during the
game.

STEVEN SIEGEL
525.87 points

Siegel played bridge
earlier in life and
then after he retired
from AT&T in 2018.
He misses in-person
bridge, but finds
electronic records of
other tables' bidding
and play to be helpful.
He considers himself
more interested
in learning than in
winning points, but he
made an exception
late in the year when
he saw he was in
contention.
