Mysteries, Bridge, and a Culinary Twist

SPECIAL EDITION. Read about the adventures of Charles and Judy Earl, an academic couple that travels the U.S. to bridge tournaments as they develop their side business, the Alma Mater restaurant chain (from St. Louis through Providence chapters). The fictional business is named for the career of the Earls and for "Judy’s" mother (the real-life model of whom greatly enjoyed these stories and always wanted to know more about 'her’ latest restaurant and possible adventures in haute cuisine derivatives delivered to the masses). A portion of the proceeds of the sale of this eBook is donated to the Alma Lach Papers and Culinary Book Collection of the Joseph Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago. In this special edition, readers are treated to an extra gift--some of Alma Lach's fine floral images, including the last one she ever made, just prior to her death in October of 2013. Also included is a photo of Alma Lach, taken toward the end of her long, illustrious, and remarkable life.
