Alan Stout, our newest Grand Life Master
Silver Ribbon Champion
For many years, Alan Stout enjoyed the unusual distinction of being the
ACBL member with the greatest number of masterpoints who had never won
a North American Championship. With his victory Monday of the St.
Louis NABC in the Leventritt Silver Ribbon Pairs, Alan finally put that
distinction to rest.
Pairing a 62.65% first final session with a 57.36% effort in the second
final, Alan and his partner, Allan Siebert, won the four-session contest
by more than a board. The Silver Ribbon Pairs is restricted to members
55 and older who have previously qualified to enter.
Alan, who previously had two second-place finishes in NABC events, is #15
on the ACBL masterpoint holder list, with nearly 29,000 points. With
the victory, Stout is now a Grand Life Master. Alan is a resident of Jacksonville,
Florida and a very popular professional.

Did you see?
The Wall Street Journal in its February 16th edition had an
interesting article on "The Upside of Aging." It contains a summary
of different neuroscience studies. The bad news is some faculties
of the brain suffer with age, the good news is some faculties (relevant
to bridge playing) improve with age.
Here's a link to the article, reprinted at the web site
of one of the companies mentioned in the article. The company,
Posit Science Corp, sells brain exercises:

Karl Johnson 1924 - 2005
Karl Johnson, a retired national tournament director and husband of ACBL
TD Patty Johnson, died Thursday in Sebring FL after a long illness. He
was 81. Johnson, originally of Moline IL, became a tournament director
in 1960 and quickly ascended to national rank, the highest for TDs, in
1967. Gary Blaiss, one of Johnson’s contemporaries and now ACBL’s chief
administrative officer, said Johnson was “one of the giants of our profession.”
Blaiss recalled the 1984 Summer NABC in Washington DC, at which the director
in charge abruptly quit, leaving the organizers in the lurch. Blaiss recalled
that Johnson stepped in “on a day’s notice” to run the NABC and did so
expertly. Johnson, said Blaiss, was always very supportive of younger TDs
and was one of the founders of the Professional Tournament Directors association.
Tom Quinlan, a longtime DIC himself, said he worked with Johnson for more
than 30 years and noticed that “when he wasn’t around things didn’t get
done, or they didn’t get done right.” Quinlan said that for years Johnson
and the late John Wiser were the brains behind the appeals process at NABCs.
“They gave us a good foundation for appeals,” said Quinlan. Johnson was
soft-spoken as a rule, Quinlan said, but he was not afraid to voice opinions
when he felt strongly about a subject. “He was a stickler for doing things
the right way,” Quinlan said. Chris Patrias, another national TD and longtime
friend, said Johnson “was always teaching” whenever another director went
to him with a problem or a question. Patrias said there was a running joke
about “Karl Johnson’s closet” – a reference to his frequent response to
questions: “I’ve got something in writing about that at home in my closet.”
Jokes aside, Patrias said, Johnson was well respected and liked by his
colleagues: “He knew a lot.” Patrias, who lives in the St. Louis area,
said he enjoyed his annual bet with Johnson, a diehard Chicago Cubs fan,
about which of their baseball teams would do better. “I won money from
him about five years in a row,” Patrias said. Karl and Patty knew each
other from working together at tournaments in the Midwest. They were married
in June of 1982. Karl retired in February of 1988, three months after he
and Patty had moved to Florida. Patty said her husband flourished in retirement,
playing golf, reading and following sports. Thirteen years ago, he survived
a near-fatal heart attack on a golf course, and he also made it through
a bout with lung cancer suffered six years ago. Patty became a national
tournament director three years ago and is now the ACBL field representative
for Florida. Karl, she said, “was always very supportive” of her TD activities.
