Dr. Aiyanadar Bharathi's Retirement Party
January 18, 2014


Dr. Aiyanadar Bharathi, affectionately known as Dr. B, was honored with a retirement party at the Beaumont Bridge Studio. The luncheon was catered by MacKenzie's Pub, courtesy of Tipton Golias, Dr. B's friend and frequent bridge partner. As Tipton stated, Dr. B's retirement from Christus St. Elizabeth simply provided an opportunity to honor him for his service to the Beaumont Bridge Studio. Dr. B shared a bit about how he came to call Beaumont his home for the last 35 years and how much his bridge family means to him. Thank you, Dr. B for all you have done for the Beaumont Bridge Studio, the community, and the world!

Dr. B introduced the head table of friends from the medical community.

As Tipton described the many contributions Dr. B has made to the Beaumont Bridge Studio over the past 25 years, Dr. B made sure the event was duly recorded.

Sally Blewett and Patsy Pierce light-heartedly roasted Dr. B with gifts to make his transition to retirement easier -- an apron, duster, plunger, and clock -- and presented him with one free play at the Bridge Studio to ease the burden of his "fixed income." President Dave Becker presented Dr. B with a super-sized key chain.

Dr. B was joined at the head table by special friends and associates.

Ed Rasmussen directed the event -- quite a houseful of noisy bridge players, all having a great time.
