<html><body><font face="Helvetica">Thank you, John, for your excellent observations. I share much of what you experienced.But the most significant is the lack of time to teach, especially to teach bidding. <br><br>The kids love to play hands so I incorporate one hand, pre-dealt in boards, at each session. I set up the boards so that they incorporate what I've told them in a brief lecture at the start of each class.<br><br>As regards other cities, I would be glad to talk to Kathy Lane who runs Reno Youthbridge. I worked with her while we had our house in Reno.<br><br>Don<br><br>Sent from XFINITY Connect Mobile App</font><blockquote><br>------ Original Message ------<br><br><b>From: </b>John Weinberg<br><b>To: </b>Anne Farmer, shirleyjohnson@comcast.net, Steve Lewis, annromeo@gmail.com, Barbara Nist, Bill Bumpas, Patti McCallum, Don Logerwell, John Weinberg<br><b>Cc: </b>Seattle ACBL Unit Board<br><b>Sent: </b>January 29, 2017 at 4:51 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Teaching Bridge in the Seattle Schools</blockquote><blockquote><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
