Hello Leland, Can you give us an update on some of our good friends that have not visited the CCC in a while? Here are some names of interest: - Jon Pietras - Frank Johnson - Daniel Tapia - Daniel Liu - Bernard Baker - Brian Fraiser Who have I missed? See you at the club, Mike ******************************************************** To the best of my knowledge, Jon "Cigars" Pietras moved to Lenoir, NC but his wife won't let him play, anyway?! Frank "Chessman" Johnson was commuting from Gastonia but unfortunately had a nasty falling out with someone in our club!? FM Daniel "Johnny" Tapia has moved to Colombia, South America to study chess and become a Grandmaster~! NM Daniel "Skip to my" Liu has, for no logical reason chosen to align himself with a different chess organization... Reverend Bernard "King" Baker has taken a short Sabbatical from chess to concentrate on other endeavors. PFC Brian Fraiser has been in the US Army for the past 2 years!? Players come and go. We now have 106 current members of the CCC. If they all came to the club at the same time, we would have a slight problem!?!
