Andrew Rosenthal, a lifetime New Yorker, graduated Collegiate School in 1980 and Pitzer college in 1984, studying theater.  He learned to play bridge as a child from his parents but didn’t start playing seriously until he was 30. Bridge highlights including winning the Red Ribbons with Jenni Hartsman (now Carmichael), The.Goldman Pairs with David Moss, coming in second in the 2019 Spingold and becoming USA2 in the 2019 Mixed Trials.

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.”
