We were all happy to gather with 18 students from 6 high schools for the Bay Area High School Bridge Championship (HSBC) at the Palo Alto Bridge Center (PABC). Two years ago the High School Bridge Championship was the last in-person event at the PABC before shutting down due to COVID. Last year the HSBC was on-line. This year with some small adjustments we were back to normal – vaccination record check, everyone masked, eating lunch outdoors.
