Sharon bridge scores June 10

SHARON — There were nine full tables for duplicate bridge at Good Neighbors on June 2. We stopped the game after eight rounds, keeping the number of deals each pair played to 24 since last week 27 seemed to be too draining.  Each round consisted of three boards. The average score each way was 84.

The winners: For North South pairs, in first with 103.5 points (61.31  percent) were Norma Bartholomew and George Mason; in second with 97 points (57.74  percent) were Tom Burke and Harry Hall, and in third with 93 points (55.36  percent) were Cindy Rubicam and Trish Stimpson.

For East West pairs, in first with 103 points (61.31 percent) were Barbara Griggs and Dick Collins; in second with 101 points (60.12  percent) were Emily and Billy Saster, and in third with 98 points (58.33 percent ) were Kit Kellogg and Lilly Beck.

When Jennifer Chrein first stepped inside the cavernous mill building on Whiting Street in Winsted and looked up at the towering figures of the American Mural Project, she had no idea what she was walking into.

“I had been invited by a friend to attend an event in May 2024,” Chrein recalled. That friend, she said, had a ticket they couldn’t use and thought she’d enjoy it. “I didn’t know anything about AMP. I didn’t Google it — nothing.”
