Hello everyone. As you all know by now, Les Brennan, has retired from publishing the MCA Newsletter. His efforts have been appreciated by all who have received it over the years, and I only hope that I can continue on in publishing the same high quality newsletter that we have come to expect. Since I am new at this, you may notice some changes from time to time, while I work on 'getting it right'. Graciously, Sherwood Moore is assisting UCCC CUed Ciuh Claui/tpUmldp me in production of this newsletter, so do not forget to thank him for his continual timmm^lhhlu and goMi work for the MCA. It is my desire, to produce an informative and useful newsletter. For this reason, I hope to introduce some new items which will be implemented in the next issue. They are: WonU Cluut^imlup g(um 1- 9 - A Classified Ad section, where you can advertise any old equipment or books (Chess related) that you would like to sell.
