Chronicles, transcribed from the author's tape recordings, of the bridge master's seminars at various tournaments during 1973. Per biographical sketch, "Mary Jane Farell has crafted an all-star career that includes four world championships and election to the ACBL Bridge Hall of Fame. 'I saw bridge at home and was fascinated by the time I was nine,' says Farell, who joined former teammate Dorothy Truscott as 1998 inductees. They were the first two American women to earn the rank of World Grand Master, the World Bridge Federation's highest ranking. Farell earned the rank by winning the 1966 World Mixed Pairs with Ivan Erdos, the 1970 World Women's Pairs with Marilyn Johnson and the 1978 Venice Cup with Johnson and teammates Truscott, Emma Jean Hawes, Jacqui Mitchell and Gail Greenberg. She added the World Women's Team Olympiad crown in 1980 with the same team. She's also given back to bridge, serving on appeals committees at regionals and NABCs and hosting "Coffee with Mary Jane" seminars. In 1964, the Los Angeles Times named Farell "Woman of the Year" in recognition of her gaining first place among women in the all-time masterpoint rankings."
