Here is an excerpt from Australian Bridge February
1975:
“That the four NSW women (Mary McMahon, Ruth Eaton,
Gerda Stern and Winsom Lipscomb) form a remarkable
team is well known but what must be said right at
the beginning of this report is that the Queensland
par, Phil Brown and Elaine Poulsen welded themselves
into that team as if they had belonged to it all the
time and not competed for the first time in it and
that overseas. They were a charming and most
successful addition to the NSW women.
