Introduction

Continuing with my scanning of Vol. 2 of Dad's chess diary, let's go back to the beginning of the binder. It has one blank sheet before the first coversheet.










The cover sheet is dated April 8, 1937 and signed with Henry's elegant signature. Interestingly, April 8 was on a Thursday in 1937.


On the obverse, a quote from Napoleon.


There follows a handmade and signed interior title page.


Another quote, this from Anthony Santasiere, an American master from the 1920s to the 1950s.


A photograph of Henry taken Thanksgiving, 1938. (Thanksgiving was Nov. 24 that year and I assume this was taken sometime between the 24th and 27th.)
