"Louis Cowie Tournament"
Saturday & Sunday - September 11th & 12th
J.R. Here are a few pics from this weekend. Michael Holmes and Alan have more pictures they may send. My plaque picture may not be the best because of the flash reflection – maybe one of the others will have a better picture – we were struggling trying to get a good picture here. The first picture shows Alex presenting his book of games to Louis. Joe LoConti and Michael Holmes are in background, left-to-right. I can send scan of big scoresheet tomorrow when I get to work. -- Richard
