In
MemoryWe were saddened by the loss of Laura Addison, 92, who died on August 19.
Laura was a teacher for 24 years in Baton Rouge LA before moving to Bloomington IL in the late 1950s. She had a long career as a librarian at Illinois State University and retired in 1984.
A Gold Life Master with more than 2500 masterpoints, Laura was an accomplished player and a consistent winner in Central Illinois club games and tournaments. She had won 27 masterpoints in local club games in 2008. Laura's favorite partner for many years was her late brother, Ed "Homer" Lombard. They were the District 8 champions in the Grand National Pairs in 1983 and in the Flight B Grand National Teams in 1994.
Laura was a delightful
partner and opponent who charmed everyone with her smile and Southern
drawl. She will be missed.
