Unit 201 -
Life Master Party for Nixie Lynch Hanson
August 25, 2018



 
Honoree Nixie Lynch and Husband Bobby

 Nixie's journey began after she moved to Beaumont from El Paso.  Her earliest bridge group included Frances Price, Gloria Ayres, and Nat Hallmark.  They took lessons from Nancy Smalley and practiced their skills together after each lesson.  Nixie played in limited games for many years, so her points didn't add up very quickly.  In recent years she "graduated" to the Open Games where she consistently does very well.  She earned small amounts of the 25 required GOLD points, but needed about 13 more when she teamed with Pat Bell, Linda Briggs, and Carolyn Worsham at the Austin Regional in July, 2018.  It was one of those magical matches that resulted in earning all of her remaining GOLD in three days!  As if that were not enough, she and partner Kaz Bell won an additional GOLD point in the ACBL-Wide Instant Matchpoint Game the following week!

 Congratulations, Nixie!
