Today’s quotation
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
–Gordon Ritchie, July5,2010 CFC message board
”As I read the handbook, it is within the powers of the Assembly to name someone other than the most recent past president to sit in this position on the Board (executive). This strikes me as patently absurd, but that simply adds another item to a long list of absurdities.”
”Chris Mallon has seized on this provision to announce his candidacy for the post. My memory may be failing me, but I seem to recall that Chris abdicated part way through his second term leaving Bill Doubleday holding the (empty) bag. Perhaps Chris would be good enough to state his qualifications for the position and, specifically, his accounting for the financial record of the CFC during his tenure as president.”
–Gordon Ritchie, July5,2010 CFC message board
Editor’s note: To be fair to Chris (!), he resigned the CFC presidency only after the Canadian tax authorities started to investigate his mis-use of the CFC tax status, especially concerning his activities vis a vis the National Team (2006) and it being sold to Brian Hartman. Chris claimed to be swamped by work…and then disappeared from the grid for the next 6 months until he felt that it was safe to crawl out from under the rock he had been living…
Our roving reporter was able to locate Chris Mallon this afternoon in his favourite hiding place (now an old army overcoat in the garage) . The reporter informed Chris of Gordon’s post…and this was his immediate reaction:
