Of all the people I'm surprised to see at the bridge game in the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre, the one who surprises me most is Dianne Kunselman. I always considered her a pillar of the Bridge Centre of Niagara in St. Catharines, an illusion I probably developed because she was a longtime director of the games there.
So I asked her Friday how come. Her reason: She feels the game in St. Catharines has gotten too noisy and cramped since the club has given up its extra room in the plaza. Since this is a hike for her -- she lives in St. Catharines -- that's quite an endorsement. Plus she said she likes the people. I agree. On Friday they even brought in a couple birthday cakes for one of the players, a guy named George who was turning 95. No chorus of "Happy Birthday," though. George wasn't feeling well. He stayed home.
