PATRON SAINTS OF THE BCC
Portraits of Harry Lyman and Harold Dondis, grace the walls
of the BCC, as they look down from Chess Heaven,
enjoying the action. It is always good to remember that
the sustenance and vitality of a chess club is dependent on the
generosity in time and money of its caring members and friends.
Thank you Harry Lyman and Harold Dondis!
Harry and Harold would have loved to see all the kids,
both boys and girls, who play regularly at the BCC now!
