   You reminded me of a situation regarding my old friend Harry Goldwater,
the retired National Tournament Director from New York. In the old days the
changeover was given on the mike at the beginning of the second session of
a play-through rather than written on the recap sheet as it is today. Harry
gave his announcement of "All North-Souths turn around and play East-West -
East-West in A will play North-South in B, East-West in B will then play
North-South in A, East-West in C will play North-South in D, East-West in D
will then play North-South in C, East-West in E will play North-South in F,
East-West in F will then play North-South in E."  He then repeated everything
and started to walk away from the mike. A little old lady walked up to him
and said "Pardon me Mr Goldwater, I was playing at table 3 East-West in
section D where do I go?"  Without batting an eye Harry replied " I'm sorry
lady I wasn't listening."
   By the way Harry is also responsible for the announcement intended to
speed up the game of "We have the habitual slow players and we have the
son-of-habitual slow players."
