MORE FROM SCHAUMBURG …

I am happy to report at the 2/3 mark Bobby’s team (Morse, Hamilton, Fisher, Lair and Moss) are up 26 with 30 boards to go against the team captained by Richie Schwartz.   The event has gone exceedingly smoothly  with an hour and a half for complimentary breakfast in the Hospitality Suite run by Joan Gerard and Barbara Nudelman which many of  the participants have enjoyed.  Their accompanying lunches are held at about two o’clock in the hotel’s restaurant (salads, lasagna, chicken, etc. and dessert and beverages).  Not fancy – but more than adequate and comfortable.   The two Senior Trials Directors, Bernie Gorkin and Ken Horwedel have  been a delight to work with and all has been going as it should.   No fights, no episodes, no words!   An ideal setting and a credit to the USBF.   Bobby and Dan are sitting (sleeping) off this match so it’s on to BBO for me to root for our other two pairs who are doing their damnedest to hold down the fort and keep or add to that lead.   That’s it for now.
