A tribute to a good friend, father, and  leader of our blessed Charlotte Chess  community. It is easy for me to reflect during the holidays, and I have written this particular note in recognition of our truly great leader, Leland Fuerstman.  I am sure that many chess friends share with me a feeling of gratitude and high respect for what Leland does for us year after year.  Hats off to a very special person.  All the best, Mike Eberhardinger *********************************** Thanks for the kind words, Friend. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! LF
