Personal family message from Mr. Lowder's Niece:

[Alan Millhone]

This morning I received an email from one of Mr. Lowder's Nieces and I told her I would post her letter on our forum:

Good morning:

I am Elbert's niece. Uncle Elbert had a lot of nieces and nephews and we were proud of him. I received a link to your site from my cousin and was amazed at the notes posted on how much he was admired and is missed. I would like you to post the following to your site, which brought me great comfort, to let your members know how much this meant to us as Uncle Elbert's family.

Thank you for your kind words about our Uncle Elbert. We grew up watching him play checkers and have many fond memories of his playing. He was our Uncle, so it was hard for us to realize how important he was to the game, as he would sit and play children's checkers with us , letting us win ! Thank you for letting us know what he meant to each of you and the game he loved. We will miss him.

Sincerely:
Saundra Chambers
