Unit 172 lost a
great contributor to duplicate bridge. Barbara Parker died in
Dallas on July 26. She was the former owner of Alamo Bridge Club
for over 10 years. She served on the Board of Directors for Unit
172, and was the director for the 0-99ers at regional and
national tournaments. She was the recipient of outstanding
service awards from the Unit 172 and District 16. Many of our
present day members are graduates of her teaching and
encouragement. She was a gracious lady, and was well liked and
respected by all. Due to declining health in the past year, she
moved to Dallas to be with her family. She is survived by her
sons, Jeffrey and Robert, and daughter Cynthia, and five
grandchildren. She will be missed by all bridge players in the
San Antonio area.
