JUST POTPOURRI

What can a school system teach? That depends on what the professionals and the public wants.

In Thornville Ohio a rural red neck country community near Columbus, in conjunction with two other school districts there is a "gifted child" program that meets one school day a week instead of the regular classroom day. Among subjects taught in this class was chess lessons.


In this picture my 9 year old great grandson, Casey Patterson, is playing against an elderly person. For this particular game Casey was the winner! The third person in picture is my son-in-law Bob. 




By the way over the weekend we had an extra guest at the party.

  2. The schools would love a volunteer to teach chess.
