Forest Clark, longtime Denver bridge player and supporter of the game, died in August 2017 at the age of 90.
The Tuesday charity pairs game has been named the Forest Clark Charity Pairs, in appreciation of his 40+ years of support.
If you have played in Denver clubs of tournaments for any length of time, you have played against Forest. Not only a player of the game, Forest contributed his legal expertise to draft Unit 361's incorporation papers in 1976, then served as the unit's legal counsel from 1982 until his death.
Forest attended – how many board meetings? well, 11 a year times 35 years is 385 -- so more than 300 board meetings, plus innumerable special meetings, phone calls, and quick conversations here and there. Forest brought a balanced, well-intentioned, calming approach to the issues he dealt with, and always had the good of the unit and the game in mind.
Farewell, Forest. We will miss you.
