Today we learned the sad news of the passing of English Bridge Champion and Sorry, Partner alumna Susanna Gross. Susanna's intelligence, humor, and fierce competitive spirit made her a beloved figure in the bridge world. Susanna's interview was originally broadcast in two parts, but today we are re-airing it in a combined form, ad free, in her honor, to celebrate her life, her love of the game, and the joy that she brought to so many. She was one of our all time favorite guests and will be greatly missed.
