Hello Checker/Draughts Players around the Globe:
First of all I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and good health in the coming 2006 New Year ! Mr. Tom Wiswell once wrote how great it would be if all battles could be fought over the checkered board

This will never happen but one can always hope . I had a wonderful day today with family and I have heard today from several of my Checker playing friends. I pray for peace around the World and that all of us strive to get along with each other and thus make a better place for all of us to live.
I send special holiday greetings to my good friend up in Weston, Ct.
Sincerely:
Alan Millhone, President
American Checker Federation
