    More About Weekly Greenhouse Game

    Here is an explanation of how the Greenhouse bridge game is run.

    If you’ve never attended a Greenhouse game, email Meda Brown (medabrown@gmail.com) and let her know you’d like to get announcements about future games.

    Friendly Bridge at the “Greenhouse” is played Mondays at the historic McNail Riley House located across from the Lane Events Center, 601 W. 13th Ave, Eugene, OR 97402. Parking is available on the Lane Events Center property at the corner of 13th and Jefferson. Some people find on-street parking along Jefferson.

    Folks show up between 9am – 9:15am to help set up.  We set up tables/chairs and hand-shuffle the boards before we play.

    Game starts by 9:30am, usually 9:15am . It depends on all teams being present and boards shuffled.

    Meda Brown or Bruce Anderson send out an invitation every week around Tuesday or so asking who intends to participate the next week. Based on the response, hopefully by Friday/Saturday of that week, they confirm they have enough people for at least 3 tables and make arrangements (set the game schedule).

    Players shuffle the boards themselves so there are no hand records available, but each pair is scored and ranked, with the results sent out after the game.

    Weekly Game at the Greenhouse

    Many of you already know about this game.

    Bruce Anderson hosts a weekly duplicate game at the Greenhouse on the corner of 13th and Jefferson. This is not ACBL sanctioned, but gives us another chance to play in person here in town. A number of folks from our club play there.

    The game is held Mondays at 9:30am. Bruce asks that you try to be there at 9:15 so he knows how many players there are and to help with shuffling and dealing the hands.

    If you’re interested, please call Mike Wenzel at (541) 653-4115.

    Dorlon Himber Has Passed Away

    Don has announced that long-time club member Dorlon Himber has passed away.

    We are all saddened by the passing of this kind, gentle man. It was always a pleasure to come to his table and be greeted so sweetly, every time. We’ll miss him. Godspeed, Dorlon, wherever your next journey takes you.

    Here are some additional thoughts from our club members:

    Bless his heart. What a kind man. I am so sad that sweet man is gone. Happy trails, dear Dorlon.

    That’s so sad. We will miss that sweet man.

    So sorry to hear – condolences to his family.

    This is sad news.  I was just thinking about him today as we sat down at table 2 about how I hadn’t seen him for a while. He will be missed.

    He was one of the many wonderful and kind members at our club. We will miss him for sure.

    So sad to hear that Dorlon has passed.  I knew him to be very sweet and a lovely man. He will be missed.

    I also want to send thoughts to Roy. You sat across the table from Dorlon for many years. I heard only kind words and support from you to Dorlon. This must be especially difficult for you. You have lost a long time friend and I wish you peace as you move forward.

    I want to send my condolences to Dorlon’s family and to Roy. Dorlon was a loyal Oregon women’s sports fan and I often saw him at games. Even though he didn’t remember me, I met him in the 70s. I worked in the central office of Tiffany Drug Company and we bought all our comics, magazines and paperbacks from his dad’s business. Dorlon was a kind soul. I will miss seeing him.
