The Kindness of Marty

Two years ago Marty Peterson took Mah Jongg class from me at the beach. Afterwards she casually asked me, “Would you come to Raleigh to teach, because I have a few friends who want to learn.”

A few friends is putting it mildly. Thanks to Marty I have taught at least 1,500 people just in Raleigh. Along the way Marty became a wonderful friend. She helped organize classes in the early days and eventually got me a regular gig at her club after much work. I owe so much to her.

As if that wasn’t enough, now she is hosting me at her beach house as I am doing my June Beach week. What a sweet heart. I so cherish Marty and appreciate her kindness, generosity and fun loving spirit. Marty has been the big bonus of teaching Mah Jongg. I am eternally grateful to her.

Tonight after we went to dinner I taught her to play Siamese Mah Jongg. “I don’t want to make you work,” she said. It is never working when I get to play Mah Jongg with you Marty!
