In Memory
We are saddened by the loss of two of our players in
recent weeks.
Erden Ustensoy of Danville played on Monday
nights at the club. He had moved back to his home country of
Turkey last year. He was a soft-spoken man and a fine player who
was happy to partner players of all skill levels.
Milt Epstein, age 64, passed away on
March 22. Milt started playing at the club back in the 1990s,
but had been fighting an illiness the past few years. He
mentored new players in our online games and helped us promote
bridge to students.
