In the preceding picture: l. to r. seated--Marion Lamborn, Mary Bush, Ann Baker, Rosamond Tarno, Willie Craton, Del Wilson; standing--Hal Wilson, Forie Craton, Bill Collins, Dick Lamborn, Harriet Collins, Ed Baker, Roz Harris, Lee Tarno, Walt Harris.  Fred Bush is missing and presumably took the picture.
  Digging out the comic shot of Lee and me at the Reeds caused me to review our collection of shots of this bridge club and I found a few more that I think will enhance this a little so I'm having prints made.  They aren't 1941 vintage or anywhere near it but they seem to fit in here pretty well.  The first is the one on p.66 showing the dentists and the GE girls.  Another is below and gives a good shot of Fred Bush who was missing in the two group pictures.  This shot was taken at a party at the Bushes in April 1959:

The last two pictures, which are mounted on the following page, were taken at a party at our house in July 1958.  The purpose of the party was to bid a fond but unhappy farewell to [[underline]]Hattie and Dean McKinney[[/underline]] who were being transferred by Hammermill to Benton Harbor, Michigan.  Hattie, a delightful gal from Virginia, had come into the club to fill the place vacated by either Katherine Surdy or Del Wilson I'd judge and she and Dean had made a find addition to the group.  These two pictures pretty well cover the whole group, the one showing Harriet Collins being the only one in which Harriet appears.  This may have been the party at our house when Bill Collins brought a pitcher of martinis which were inadvertently used by one of the other guests, maybe Bill's own wife, as plain water for making a highball, creating great consternation and making Bill furious several martinis had to be poured down the drain.
