ALFRED JORDAN EXHIBIT at OMOCH

Post by Jay H »

Greetings Everybody,
I would like to invite you all to the opening of
THE ALFRED JORDAN EXHIBIT

Follow the link below....

http://www.online-museum-of-checkers-hi ... /id65.html

This exhibit contains items from the personal collection of Alf Jordan himself, including many rare and never before published photgraphs and artifacts, along with historical data for each item.
These items have been preserved by the descendants of Jordan, and are now in the possession of Mr. Keith Brannen, great grandson of Alf Jordan, who has granted permission to display them on the OMOCH website.
There have been many hours spent in preparation and research, and the end result is an incredible display.
If you are a fan of the great Alf Jordan, or just want to see some incredible items from the game's past, you most definately will want to visit this exhibit.

Regards

Jay H
