Hi, While at Waynflete in the 50’s I lived on Lindenwood Rd. My parents wanted me to learn to play bridge before I went to college (a choice they came to regret) so they would ask John to come and be the fourth while I learned. What patience he had! He also was great to hear as part of the Meddies at Bowdoin house parties. Then, John ended up at Ft Eustis, VA after I was married and living in Williamsburg. It was so good to see someone from home! I was in VA til ’94 , so didn’t see a lot of John, but his kindness in the bridge department will always be remembered. My sympathy to your family.
