Visiting with Grandma Tam and Grandpa Mark

Tam still remembers how all the pieces move after 30 years.
The happy face of a boy who just captured his opponent’s queen.

Tam didn’t allow him his opening gambit to do a quick Scholar’s Mate. But, he won. This makes Tam the second grandparent he has managed to defeat. But I don’t think Liz or Mark have played him . . . yet.

2nd Grade School Photo

I never posted school photos here when they came back in October. Ivan wore the same shirt as his 1st grade school photo but did not smile for the camera. He’ll have to pick a new shirt next year because this one will be too small.
