Collector friend Tom de Gijsel from Amsterdam belongs to our large group of Dutch members, already in 2004 he joined our association: On August 14th he completed four decades of his life.

Our last chess greetings go to the far north of Europe, in Iceland Jón Adólf Pálsson looked back on full 80 years on August 20th. The scarce information I have about him is included in the mention of 2008.
