Judy Zebos was a rarity - a genuinely nice person who played in the sometimes fiercely competitive game of duplicate bridge. She seemed to always have a smile on her face and never said anything cross to her partner or to her opponents. When she spoke her intelligence and wit shone forth.

I was sad to learn of her passing.

How well I remember that day in September of 1942 when we all started 1st Grade, Brush School with Ms. Tina Goodwin as our teacher. You were always the number one student in every class. You were always so friendly with a big smile. My prayers go to you Steve Zebos for your loss.
