Not sure what to say?

I could not help but think of how Harold would have reacted to the newly circulated Chess Movie..."The Queens Opening...." and the wonderful insights that it provided to the chess player's mind and spirit. I think Harold would have been very pleased...by all the fuss being made about that movie and chess players....I still think , however, that Harold should be remembered for having the best legal mind ....in addition to his Chess fame.

Harold Dondis will be truly missed...
