Chess Club
In spite of the bad weather Sunday, kids showed up in multi-layers of clothing to battle each other on the boards.
A surprise development of the club is the side checkers game and who dominates it. Everybody’s favorite good guy, Paul Hamilton, operates on his victim challengers with the precision of a surgeon, and, of course, with a huge smile as he sends them away talking to themselves.
His presence is a delight but he needs more challengers, organizer Richard Mozeleski said.
The Chess Club meets from 3 to 5:30 p.m. every Sunday at Nature’s Wisdom. All ages are welcome but bring a chess board…
