Phil Wood 1921-2010. Phil Wood of Richmond BC (1921-2010),
one of the most charismatic and entertaining of our National Tournament
Directors, died on Sunday, February 14 of Parkinson's Disease. Phil,
the first Canadian to be appointed a National Director by the ACBL,
had tremendous microphone presence, a fine sense of humor, a way of
making the players feel comfortable and at ease — and an amazing
ability to add a column of numbers. He was held in high esteem by his
co-workers and beloved by his staff. A former member of the RCAF (Royal
Canadian Air Force), he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in
1944.
A Memorial service will be held on Thursday, March 4th, at 11:00AM,
at the First Memorial Chapel, 602 Kingsway, Vancouver.

DISTRICT 19, ACBL
A
blending of two countries, two cultures and one
common love - the game of bridge.
District
19 includes Alaska, Washington and British Columbia and comprises 24
units. Our smaller units have as few as twenty-four members, and our
largest units are Seattle with 1,244 members and Vancouver with 1,033.
The governing
body for District 19 is the District 19 Organization (DINO). DINO
successfully meets the challenges of a district which crosses and international
border, deals in two kinds of currency and must operate according to
the dictates of a variety of governmental organizations. The board is
an active energetic and interested group of volunteers who have invested
a lot of time and energy in the present and future health of the game
of bridge. We can all be proud of our membership in District 19 and
the commendable efforts of our DINO Board.
