Kathy Rolfe (Lake Winnebago, MO) is an intermediate player and ABTA Master Teacher. She is a retired electrical and quality engineer who gave up engineering for full-time bridge teaching and playing when her co-workers began teasing her about which was a real job and which was a hobby. She comes from a long history of social bridge before she took up duplicate and so has a real grasp of what it takes to move from social bridge to duplicate. She also started by teaching bridge to youth and then moved on to teach adults, so her passion for introducing youth to the game is present at all times!
