In the Spring of 1978, children from Taholah visited TESC in a chess and checker challenge. The College was respresented by students and faculty, including Will Humphreys. The result: Taholah 35 games, TESC 7 games.

TESC could take comfort in the fact that winning 7 was actually not too bad. The Taholah kids (some of them having won state-wide competitions) had been trained by international champion Kenneth Grover.

And yes, Dr. Humphreys had his clocked cleaned at checkers by a 12-year old.

They are great. Read faithfully. I occasionally try to pass the stories on, though they usually comes out semi-garbled by the time I tell them, and I wisely then refer folks to the source.
