Congratulations
to Bob Carteaux of Fort Wayne, who recently attained the rank of Grand Life
Master. Bob is the first player in District 8 to reach this level, which
requires 10,000 masterpoints and a North American championship. Bob won his
championship in the Senior Knockout Teams at the St. Louis NABC in 1997.
Bob was honored at a reception at the Fort Wayne Regional in September. Bob is shown at right with the "Women of District 8" -- District President Martha Leary, Secretary-treasurer Debbie Avery, and ACBL Director Georgia Heth.
Did you know? Before taking up bridge, Bob was a championship bowler. You can learn more about Bob in a very interesting article from his hometown paper, which is reprinted on the Northern Indiana "Recap Sheet" in this issue of the Advocate.
