Teacher of the Year HonorsThis year District 16 is presenting not only the coveted Teacher of the Year Award, which went to Ed Rawlinson, but also two new categories of recognition. These categories are:Finalist: This designation is used to honor those who are considered cream of the crop among current nominees. Finalists for 2020, in addition to Ed, were Patricia Cantu, Julie Halperin, and Sam Khayatt. Since only one of the Finalists can receive the Award in any given year, the others will be automatically re-nominated by the Selection Committee for 2021 Teacher of the Year.Rising Star: This honor recognizes a Finalist who embodies a unique combination of accomplishment, promise, and inspiration. Patricia Cantu received this honor for 2020

Ed RawlinsonWinner District 16 Teacher of the Year

Ed is a long-term resident of San Antonio. He retired in 2002 as superintendent of a local school district and has since held numerous administrative positions, including president and treasurer, in the bridge world as well. He is also a consummate bridge player, with almost 10,000 masterpoints. The Teacher of the Year Award, however, celebrates his many activities and accomplishments as a bridge teacher; and, in this area, his resume is long and impressive.

With a strong teaching team already in place at the Fiesta Club (San Antonio, Unit 172), Ed looked elsewhere for teaching opportunities. He found them in numerous places, such as lecturing at tournaments, developing a bridge library at the Club, mentoring new players, posting his teaching materials on the District 16 web site, and teaching special topics at the Club.

His biggest commitment has been teaching in San Antonio schools, an arena for which he was ideally suited because of his long career experience. Ed has created and taught bridge programs at every school level – elementary, middle, high school, and continuing education. Ed advocates strongly for the ACBL and duplicate bridge and, among adults, has been able to counter negative stereotypes about duplicate. Many students have joined the ACBL and become regulars at the Fiesta Club.

His teaching style is interactive, encouraging discussion among students and only adding his 2¢ when the group needs a guiding hand.

Congratulations, Ed. You are receiving this Award with the admiration and gratitude of a wide swath of District 16 administrators, students, players, and, above all, your fellow teachers.

Melva Faye Fake Kiel passed away on October 25, 2019. Melva graduated from San Jacinto High School in 1953. She was a long-term member of the Clear Lake Bridge Club where she was a very ac-tive competitor. And, she competed around the Unit as well. Melva attained the rank of Silver Life Master and was always a pleasant partner or opponent. Her smile and graciousness will be missed sorely at Clear Lake Bridge Club where she will be missed by all.

Melva Kiel Memorial Mid-Flight Game

When Ken Hudson walks into a room, it lights up! His friendly smile and enthusiastic nature are contagious to all he encounters. Ken served as Unit Secretary, Vice President and President while recently on our Unit 174 Board of Directors (2015-2018) and continues to be a strong force in the world of bridge for our Unit. He is always willing to volunteer and go

beyond his call to assist anyone. Ken, thank you for being such an asset to our bridge community.

Ken Hudson Gold Rush Pairs

Smile often; a warm smile is the universal language of kindness. Don’t underestimate it’s power or that of a kind word or an honest compliment.

Patricia Cantu Finalist and Rising Star

Patricia hails from San Pedro Garza Garcia, a city in the Monterrey Metropolitan area, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She is both an avid bridge player and energetic and resourceful teacher and, in addition, operates and directs at the only bridge club in the area. The club has doubled in size since she took over five years ago, and her success comes largely as a result of her outreach to new players and dedication to teaching.

Each week, Patricia directs two games and teaches a dozen classes. With Spanish-language teaching materials in short supply, she has translated or developed much of her own lesson plans. Without local tournaments for her students to play in, she has led them on a number of bridge field trips. Her students are very enthusiastic and loyal, as evidenced by the testimonials they provided.

Patricia embodies what we all wish for in our bridge leaders: building for the future of the game and, of course, using teaching as a cornerstone of the effort. We expect to hear even more about Patricia’s successes in the near future.

Julie Halperin & Sam Khayatt Fi-nalists

Julie and Sam teach at the Bridge Club of Houston. Julie has been a mainstay of the Houston teaching scene for many years. Sam, a former student of Julie’s, is a newer member of the Bridge Club teaching team and effectively combines her background in adult education with impeccable preparation.

Vinh Tran has taught over 800 students and has published ten books about bridge. Vinh’s teaching career began after he retired from his work as a consulting engineer in 2007. His teaching method has been described as Socratic. Rather than telling his students what to do, he asks a series of questions to stimulate critical thinking to allow his students to come to their own conclusions. In 2013, 19 of the 60 top Mini-McKenney masterpoint race recipients in the six

categories of 0-300 masterpoints were Vinh’s students! Vinh continues a robust schedule of teaching students at lessons, local games, and tournaments.
