A 100-year-old Oregon fan preaches patience and perspective
EUGENE, Ore. -- Ann Danby's 100-year-old hands snatch the deck of cards off the table, and with an agility more befitting a Vegas blackjack dealer than a great-grandmother living on Eugene's West side, she cuts the deck, shuffles it and places it next to her vintage porcelain teacup.
In bridge, like life, she explains, patience is important. And no one has it anymore.
"Are young people really understanding what the world is?" Danby says. "That's why they're impulsive. They haven't really gotten a background for it. But no one has a background like I have."
That's because Danby knows her history.
