Hi you two! That’s wonderful news about the Pasadena Lions Club! I think this new direction you decided to take with Computer Labs for Kids is the right one – you’ll be able to reach so many more kids and impart the kinds of skills they will really need for life as we now live it in the 21st century. Kudos to the two of you and my love, as always. I am thinking about playing in the Hales Corners Chess Challenge XIV – a year later from Challenge XII where you visited me and we went forth to play and Shira conquered! It will be on October 22nd.
Chess and computers, Shira, chess and computers. Have you read the latest at Susan Polgar’s blog? (www.susanpolgar.blogspot.com) — some fantastic stories this year, finally getting publicity for chess and kids — two Cinderella stories and well deserved scholarships awarded to four young ladies for $40,000 a year each (full freight, out of state students) to attend Texas Tech University should they wish to do so. Teach a kid how to use a computer, and teach a kid how to play chess at the same time. Life changing events. Think about it.
Love, Jan
