His roles as a player, Club Director, and Certified Director, along with his organization of 12 Sectional Tournaments in Nacogdoches further highlight his dedication to the bridge community.
Jack’s involvement and achievements span decades, reflecting a deep passion for the game and its community. He will be missed in many ways by all of us.

| Player Profile - Rand James |
Rand James: A Rising Star in Duplicate Bridge
 Rand James made an impressive debut in the world of Duplicate Bridge, achieving a remarkable 77.50% game in her first year as a member of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). Her outstanding game took place at the Nacogdoches Duplicate Bridge Club, where Rand with all of 1.47 points partnered with the experienced Gay Roach with 4,750 points. Together, they formed a dynamic team that demonstrated both skill and synergy at the bridge table.
Before her retirement to Garrison, Texas, in 2010, Rand had a successful career as a real estate broker in the bustling Dallas area (incidentally, Gay is also a real estate broker). After decades of professional achievement, she returned to her roots, settling into the family home built by her father. Her connection to the town of Garrison was deep, and this move marked a return to simpler pleasures, one of which was her love for bridge.
Rand encountered the game of bridge during her freshman year at SFASU at the same that that she first, amusingly, smoked her first cig. A foursome of friends purchased a pack of Marlboros, which, she recalls, lasted them an entire week. This lighthearted memory connects two firsts in her life: the thrill of bridge and the fleeting experience of smoking. Although the cigarettes didn't last, her passion for bridge certainly did.
During her earlier years, Rand played bridge with a 3-table group of successful business women in Dallas then when she came to Nacogdoches she refined her skills in a more casual setting with the Newcomer’s Club before transitioning to the competitive world of Duplicate Bridge. Her natural aptitude for the game, paired with her calm demeanor and keen sense of humor has earned her admiration from fellow players at the Nacogdoches Duplicate Bridge Club.
Rand James’ 77.50% game is a testament to her talent, dedication, and quick adaptation to the competitive bridge scene. With such an extraordinary achievement in her first year, she has set a high bar for her future in the game, and the bridge community is eager to see more from this talented player.
