: Dear Chess Friends, : I am writing to ask you to please send a note to the Editor of People Magazine commending their wonderful story about Josh Waitzkin (2/17/03 page 136). Getting chess more into the mainstream is important for continued strength in our chess clubs and groups. I think that when we get any publicity we should give some commendation to the editor so that we may get more articles promoting chess and more chess members! I intend on using this wonderful article in People to try to persuade the Cartoon Network to hire Josh to help plan a Dexter's Laboratory Chess Cartoon. This People article makes selling Josh a lot easier for me, and maybe for the TNT executives too. (I am still trying to get the Cartoon Network to draw Dexter's Laboratory with a chess story line; The Cartoon Network 1050 Techwood Drive, Atlanta, GA 30318 if you want to help there too.PERSISTENCE BREAKS RESISTANCE! ) : SO PLEASE WRITE TO: EDITOR@PEOPLE.COM and you will get back an auto reply. Be sure to put Josh Waitzkin's name in the subject line as they might not open your mail. I have pasted the note that I sent to People below. : Thank-you for your help in promoting chess! : Sincerely, : Mrs. Kelly Jacobs : Coach for The Knights of DeSoto Chess Club : Coach of The World Geography Club of White Station Middle School : Member of the United States Chess Federation Scholastic Committee : Japanese Persimmon & Plum Farmer, and Child Advocate : -R- Ponderosa Persimmon Ranch : 3985 Robertson Gin Road : Hernando, Mississippi 38632 : 662-429-4412 or Kellitaj@aol.com : www.essentialdecisions.com/chess : "I support Beatriz Marinello for the USCF Executive Board! : Please Vote for her this summer 2003!"
