Leland, I hope you had a very nice holiday!
 
I wish to keep up my membership with the club and the NCCA but as of late my schedule has changed not allowing me much free time to indulge in chess. Nonetheless, my schedule might change back.  That's why I want to keep up membership dues, etc.
 
I have to say that I truly admire your dedication to chess. You should really and truly serve as inspiration to everyone in NC chess. You are dedicated and forthright and have a true passion for the game. I personally admire these traits. The NCCA is truly blessed to have you in their ranks. I enjoy going over your games and browsing your website. Keep up the good work, Leland because you have a fan in me.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad there are still a few folks out there who appreciate what I do. Hope you can join us again at the Charlotte Chess Club, soon. Have a great New Year!
