ANOTHER NEARLY TRUE STORY........ ( By Bridgemeister Gibson )

Every bridge player is required to have good memory, but those who are blessed with total recall are few and far between. However , there's one chap in our club , Eddie " Egghead " Milner, who has what can only be described as a perfect and infallible memory. 
Several years ago when touring Italy on holiday,  he bumped into a fellow bridge player queueing  at the Milan train station ticket office, only to recall the first time they met. This was when they both took part in the 1984 Brighton Congress Swiss Pairs.
" Yes...we played against each other on boards 25,26 in round four. I remember you getting an above average score, being the only pair in the room to stop in a safe 3S contract ,  when elsewhere 4S was going down one. However, on the next board I managed to pull of a remarkable 6S contract against you despite missing two Aces......."
" Christ almighty ...." his listener exclaimed, "....what a remarkable memory you have ", but on that note Eddie had to make a polite and rapid exit, when it was announced over the tannoy that his train was about to depart.
Then a decade later their paths crossed again for a third time when they both attended this year's  Great Northern Pairs Final ,  down to play each other in round one.
" Well I never.....it's you with the amazing memory.....how........"....... but before the question could be finished, Eddie immediately jumped in with an answer.
" Well, on your opening jack of diamonds lead, which I took in dummy with the Ace , I then relied upon a repeated ruffing finesse in clubs to pitch away two diamond losers. Even so I had to go up with the Ace of spades to bring down the stiff off-side King, only to end up making my twelfth trick on a rather unusual squeeze....."
What a man......What a memory !
