Well, we successfully launched the Lewis and Clark School Chess Club this afternoon. I, Laura, am thrilled with the turnout of 9 boys and 1 girl, me, a mom, a dad who played all the boys in turn while his daughter was schooled by a nice retired aquaintance who came to volunteer his expertise. The boys had to be run and watered periodically, but they were all
quite skilled players and good natured. I think the club will continue on and be a big hit at school. I got royally whupped by a 6th grader but was impressed with his tricky plays. Here are Tim and Sean getting warmed up...

Hi, Laura...
Congrats on a great idea and actually implementing it!
Love, Mom and Dad
Hi Laura and Tim,
This is my second attempt - the first one did not post.
Three cheers for getting the chess club off the ground! It is super for kids, but takes perseverance.
Tim, will you play with me this summer and remind me how to play?
love,
Gran
