There are certain people who pass through our lives that make an indelible impression. Ginny page was one of those!
That mark is imprinted my memory bank forever. It started in the 1970s and continued until the early 2000. Nearly 30 years. It began with what her obituary referred to as “bridge”.
Ginny and a few others formed a duplicate husband/wife 12 person bridge group. We met monthly for that whole time. In 1978, this bridge group added an annual 3 day trip to the first Atlantic City casino to open there. From then on that group became known as T.O.B.A.C.O (The Oakland Bridge Atlantic City Organization).
This little group became a clique. We did everything together....weddings, birthdays, holidays, travels and yes even funerals.
Then in the late 1990s the group began to split up. This was mainly due to retirement/moving and yes even funerals. But Ginny and Charlie stayed behind in Oakland. The only ones that did. And now our founder as left too to be with her maker.
So many memories. So much fun. I was fortunate to be part of it. Thank you Ginny.
