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 page136). 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@... 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
