This year again the Brunswick auction house Klittich-Pfankuch has significantly
enhanced the summery June auction by a special event, after the viewing
on Friday afternoon (24th of June) customers and guests were invited to
a pleasurable Salta evening which took place in the well-known auction
hall on Theaterwall.

| Once
more (after the Laska lecture
in the previous year) Prof. Wolfgang Angerstein was willing to deliver
a talk in order to give us an understanding of this nowadays widely
unknown board game – in the specified time frame of one hour
he gave a peppy amusing lecture on this game which he has dealt with
thoroughly for about 10 years. His very successful presentation was
met with hearty applause. |

Subsequent
to the lecture
a short tribute to our host Roger Klittich was due - he had celebrated his
75th birthday at the beginning of the month, more precisely on June 3rd.
On this occasion, but especially in recognition of his long-time services
to the Ken Whyld Association our board members Guy Van Habberney, Michael
Negele and Jurgen Stigter offered their congratulations and spoke short
words of appreciation.

Naturally adequate gifts for the such honoured were obligatory – at
this both the physical well-being (by a box with selected Spanish wine)
and the mental edification (by a superb chess book) was provided for.
