Congratulations Alex - Masters, Jonathan - KY State Champion,
and Ken - Majors
Mr. Leon Creek runs a fine tournament
and thanks to Mr. Don Brattin for helping him in referee duties. Also thanks to
Mrs. Brattin for providing excellent food (Refreshments and hot lunch were
wonderful) for the players to consume while the tournament progressed. The
LaQuinta is an excellent hotel to host the tournament and the playing room is
excellent as well. I had a great time and nice to see many familiar faces this
past week-end. We had two very special welcome guests - Mr.Ian & Mrs Joan
Caws from England. The youngest player - Alex Holmes, 7 years, and 92
years, oldest - Mr. Earl Harvell.
Sincerely: Alan Millhone, President - American Checker Federation
