Erica Hughes and "Grandma" Matthews
ACBL Caddymaster Jackie Matthews loves her
“kids”, the army of caddies that help make the
NABCs run so smoothly.
Pictured above Jackie and granddaughter Erica, a first time caddy here in Reno. Jackie had to relax her rule that the caddies could call her Jackie or Mom but never Grandma, for this special situation.

Vandy 1st Round:
#6 Seed Booted
The squad of Jimmy Cayne, Robert Levin,
Steve Weinstein, Michael Seamon, Geir Helgemo
and Dano DeFalco was seeded sixth in the
Vanderbilt Knockouts, but they’re on the sidelines
today after they failed to win either of their 32
board matches in yesterday’s opening-round action.
Top seed Nick Nickell had a bye in the opening
round, but will face the team captained by Barry
Rigal today.
One hundred five teams entered the event. Only
64 remain.
Godefrin-Schulte lead Silver Ribbon
Joseph Godefrin and Ed Schulte parlayed a
huge first qualifying session into a field-topping
performance in the first day of play in the Silver
Ribbon Pairs.
Godefrin and Schulte scored 71.31% in the
afternoon session and 58.69% in the evening to
post a total of 1285.16 matchpoints.
In second, more than two boards behind the
leaders, are Ronald Spath and Shou-Ling Wang
with 1205.50. Close behind in third are Steve
Cohen and Gene Freed with 1205.36.
The field of 306 pairs was cut to 156 for today’s
two-session final.
