SUNDAY 13 JUNE First Sunday after Trinity 1971 164th day - 201 days to come

Finished the definitions for X-CHANGE-WORD and BB started typing them in the evening. Dana cut them and stamped the letters on the backs. Erased the guide lines from the OPEN BRIDGE cards while getting the rules straight in my mind - for the first time really. Played a couple of hands with BB.
