Before the app,
there was
Bob's table.

We played Pinochle whenever we visited my wife Sarah's grandparents, Bob and Shirley, at their home in Mesa, Arizona.

Bob had a remark for every missed opportunity. Shirley could say just as much with a grunt. I started writing down the things they said during our games.

"What's the matter with you?"

Bob, when he didn't get the card he needed.

Those remarks became part of Pinochle Pro. The game brings their table talk and reactions into a hand you can play on your phone or iPad.

Bob and Shirley have since passed away. This game is one way our family remembers them.
