I used to watch this show many years ago with mother and my aunts who were kitchen bridge players. I particularily remember Helen Soble (Goren's) usual partner. She had a truckers vocabulary at times, was a chain smoker and loved to show her legs to opponents (male) as a didtraction. She was a brilliant player and a perfect foil for Charles. Much like Sammy Kehila in later years was for Eric Murray.
@ Laurence Rotman: May I inquire as to your source regarding those details about Helen Sobel? I am not denying, just curious as to how you obtained that information, as there is relatively little about her online or anywhere else I have seen.
