Olive Gillmor RIP

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our great friend Olive Gillmor.  We all remember Olive as being a kind, generous, friendly and helpful lady.  We also remember her as being a very capable opponent who knew her way around the Bridge table and who knew exactly how to foil the plans of the other top players.  Of course, even though she had a great sense of humour, her good nature would not allow her take any pleasure in such good scores.  May she Rest in Peace.
