 David is from Old Tappan, New Jersey. In 1998, he came as close as it is possible to come to a world championship without winning it.

He also earned a bronze medal at the 2000 World Team Olympiad in Maastricht, Netherlands. He was inducted into the ACBL Hall of Fame in 2010.

Migry zur Campanile

Migry Zur Campanile was born in Bucharest, Romania, in a year that is a closely guarded secret. She is now a bridge professional and teacher living in New York with her husband, bridge professional and writer Pietro Campanile. They met playing bridge online. “He was an Italian living in London,” says Migry, “but he was desperate to find the right excuse to learn Hebrew, so how could I refuse his invitation to get married?”

“An unruly childhood and adolescence were only partially mitigated by an early induction to the family evening bridge marathons, which caused me many late nights and zombie-like mornings,” she reveals.

Migry is one of the top-ranked players in the world and she is the only Israeli player to have won three world championships: World Generali Masters (Corsica – 1998), Olympiad Mixed Teams (Maastricht – 2000), and Venice Cup (2013). Migry moved to the USA in 2006 and began competing as a US resident shortly thereafter.

Migry has several international top three finishes, beginning with both a gold and silver medal in Athens in 1991 at the European Common Market Championships. Away from bridge, Migry enjoys opera, gournmet cooking (her fabled meatballs enjoy a growing popularity), and jet-setting around the world. “Particularly Seattle, Venice, Yokohama, Albuquerque, Vilamoura, Montecatini, Rhodes, Lille, Salsomaggiore, Maastricht.”
