Linda Cornell Stern nacque nel 1949 a Londra da Sybil e Joseph Cornell e dopo essersi diplomata insegnò per qualche tempo a Londra fin quando si trasferì con la famiglia in Nuova Zelanda dove il padre arrivò a giocare in Nazionale.
I genitori restarono lì, mentre Linda si spostò in Australia dove incontrò il marito David a cui diede due figlie, Justine e Danielle.
Per qualche tempo Linda insegnò in una scuola di Bellevue Hill, ma, poi, aprì insieme al marito un Circolo di Bridge, il Double Bay Bridge Centre che ebbe molto successo.
Linda e suo fratello Michael vinsero diversi Tornei e qualche Campionato Nazionale così come il marito David e la di lui sorella Gerda.
Scomparve nel 2007.
Linda
Stern was born in London in 1949 to Sybil and the late Joseph Cornell. The family
migrated to New Zealand, where Sybil and elder brother Michael still live.
After completing her Diploma of Education, Linda did some teaching in London, then settled in Australia where she met David. They married in 1977 and had two children, Justin and Danielle.
Linda taught primary school at Bellevue Hill. When she gave that up, she and David ran the Double Bay Bridge Centre very successfully for many years. One thing you could rely on when you met Linda: she always had a smile on her face.
She was invariably cheerful, warm and friendly and was always quick to congratulate players on their successes.
Both the Cornell and Stern families have a long association with bridge. Michael Cornell has often represented New Zealand and Gerda Stern, David Stern and Robert Grynberg have won many events. Like her brother Michael, Linda enjoyed considerable success in major tournaments. She represented Australia in the 2005 Pacific Asia Women’s Teams and competed in the World Transnational Teams.
Her national titles include the National Women’s Teams, Spring National Women’s Teams, Interstate Women’s Teams and the Interstate Women’s Pairs. Last year she was second in the National Open Teams and this year she won the NOT, the premier event on the Australian calendar.
She disappeared in 2007.
