     When we meet someone we once knew or who knows a common
friend we often say that it is a small world.  In the same
regard, while the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) has a
quarter of a million members and over a thousand sanctioned
clubs, it can often be "a very small world."
     During the last week in March I had the occasion to travel
to Denver, CO.  When I got to my hotel I looked up bridge clubs
in the yellow pages and asked the front desk which one was close
by.  They indicated which would be easiest to get to and I called
to see if there was a game.  The director answered the phone.  I
introduced myself and asked if there was a game I could play in
and if he could get me a partner.  He assured me that I would
enjoy the wednesday evening game and that he would be able to get
me a very satisfactory partner.  He said he was very glad to hear
from me - he had moved from the Cleveland area to Denver about 7
years ago and remembered me from when he played in this area. 
His name is Marvel J. Heinsohn and he especially wanted me to say
hello to all of his friends from Northeast Ohio.
     I went to the wednesday night game and found that he had
paired me with a gentleman named Bruce Cobb from the Denver area. 
The name sounded familiar but I just couldn't place it.  As soon
as he walked in the door I knew who he was.  I had met him at the
partnership desk at the Southeast Regional Bridge Tournament in
Bal Harbour, FL, in April, 1987.  My partner and I were looking
for another pair for a team game and he and his wife to be joined
us.  At that time he lived in Houston, TX but he has since moved
to Denver.
     Well, needless to say we had a very nice game.  This was one
of our more successful hands.  I held the South cards but it was
Cobb's fine four club bid at his second turn that enabled us to
bid the small slam and tie for a top score on the board.
     The opening lead was the queen of hearts.  I won the ace and
drew trumps in two rounds, ending in the dummy.  The ace of
diamonds provided a resting place for the four of spades and a
heart was conceded.  The heart return was ruffed with North's
last club and I was able to claim the remainder of the tricks.
     If you are planning to be in the Denver area you can contact
Heinsohn at The Bridge Club, 6825 East Tennessee Avenue, Suite
211, Denver, CO, 80224.  The phone number is (303) 388-6288.
