Message from the President, David Dinhofer

 

Hi, everyone. We should all be proud of ourselves. We added nine new members to the AGA. We had a full day of Go with great food compliments of Henry Lee. We had an outstanding high level Dan game between two new members, Jae Hong Kim (5D) and Kazuo Sato (5D). At the other end of the spectrum, Cyndey Hedgpeth (9 y.o.), Chelsea and Elka Dinhofer (both 8 y.o.), the youngest participants, played some great games. It was the first full games that the Dinhofer twins had ever played and Elka managed to win hers!
Travis Hedgpeth had never played in a tournament before and he was facing off against many of our regulars with a strong showing in the 14k range. Dr. Han and Dr. Kuk were there and participated in showing our new Dan level members that the Bayou Go club has its share of strong players. We had great family participation. Ray Davis came with his son, Art. Glenn Hedgpeth brought Travis and Cydney. They all played the whole day. As you all know, I brought my twin daughters who had a grand time. Craig Delery made several appearances but had to spend half the day refereeing soccer. Andreas Balser
finally had a chance to prove himself clearly demonstrating that he has a
strong 6k attitude.
