Speaking of the kids, one of
the Kleins' daughters plays Mah-
jong and both sons play poker.
So how long did it take Mort
to learn to play well?
"I'll never stop learning," he
says. And he draws frequent les-
sons from his mistakes, he says.
He also gets pointers from
a subscription to the monthly
magazine Bridge Bulletin. It com-
prises consummate, complete,
cover-to-cover reporting on
winners, masters, game tips, Q
& A's and exercises. Truthfully,
it's almost like reading a foreign
language for a non-gamer.
When it comes to bridge, ev-
eryone has their limits, including
even Mort, who admits that he
doesn't always maintain his equa-
nimity throughout the game.
"If you like a challenge, then
you get worked up," he says
without remorse.
Mort actually had a day job,
until retiring at age 62. He
owned a window shade business
that he took over from his father
who started it in 1936. He later
sold it to his son-in-law, Bob
Bernstein, who recently sold it
and also retired.
Currently, Mort is an active
volunteer, helping out at Mon-
tefi ore's snack shop as a cashier.
Previously, he aided S.C.O.R.E.
(Service Corp of Retired Exec-
utives), engaged in arbitration
work for the Better Business
Bureau and assisted Bonds for
Israel, a Jewish transportation
service and Jewish welfare.
Based on everything that Mort
shared, it appears that he has no
plans to curtail his bridge game.
He's too enamored with the
competitiveness of it but also
with the level of diffi culty. And
Shirley has no plans to stop him.
Without a doubt, they're both
playing the good hand they've
been dealt.
"I'm sorry to say, it takes
many, many lessons
to master the game of
bridge."
Mort Klein, Silver Life Master
bridge player
