Maggy Simony is 89 and, she believes, living witness to the benefits of playing bridge and staying mentally active. She is widowed, with three children, six grandchildren, living independently in Florida, after almost twenty years of living in New Hampshire. Other hobbies than writing Bridge Table, are hanging out at libraries, politics (a “junkie”), reading, cooking and cookbooks, occasional beachwalking. She worked as a court stenographer during WWII, and much later as a school secretary in Bayport, N.Y. 

In the 1980s, retired, she typeset books for independent publishers, and also wrote and published Traveler’s Reading Guide—Ready-made Reading Lists for the Armchair Traveler and later edited two updated editions of the book for Facts on File.   

Education? Maggy quotes Ray Bradbury in reply—“I never went to college, I went to the library.”
