Like Bob Hammon, Mary is a big money player on the bridge circuit. Two years ago Mary and Janet Adams came in first in a league in Naples Florida and won $100 each. This year they were a close second to first place and each won $75. The women had an end of the season luncheon at Kensington CC on March 30, 2012.

On May 2, 2012 we flew from FL to Newark, NJ. Helena Fine drove our car from Naples, FL and dropped it at a valet parking spot at Newark Airport and took the train into the city. We spent two nights at the Milford Plaza (the Lullaby of Broadway) near Times Square. We saw two terrific shows: Sister Act and Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. On May 4, we took the train from Penn Station in NY City to the Air Train to the Newark Airport and then a shuttle to valet parking. We then drove to the New Jersey Botanical Gardens in Ringwood, NJ. The Skylands manor house was in disrepair and is only open on Sunday. It was too early to see anything in the gardens except some beautiful red azaleas and some lilacs. We then spent two nights at Karla and David's. Had dinner at Karla's: (Don, Mary, Eric, Cindy, & Alexei Sondergeld), (Karla, David, Zach, Erin and Katie Principe), (Amy, Aleksey & Tom) on Friday night.

On Saturday June 9, 2012 we drove to Middletown, NY to drop Joe Wolons at his son's house so they could drive to Maryland to retrieve Joe's car that broke down on the way from Ft Lauderdale to Vermont. We continued to West Simsbury, CT and bought a Toyota Camry Hybrid at Hoffman's. We spent the night at Eric's in Canton, CT and had a cook out attended by Karla and family. The next day we attended a graveside memorial service in West Harford, CT for Brita Tate's 92 year old mother. On Monday June 11, 2012 Mary was 78. We took the ferry to Ticonderoga, then to Hague on Lake George, where we took a back road to Friend's Lake Inn in Chestertown, NY. We were upgraded to The Great Room and had a gourmet dinner. We also took a terrific helicopter ride over Lake George and the Adirondacks. See some pictures.
