The following is a post by the Treasury Secretary Jim Wilkinson earlier on this blog.
This is Treasury Chief of Staff Jim Wilkinson. Susan was great, and actually several people emailed and called me to say they were going home last night and going to start learning chess. Some people there had little kids that they now want to introduce to chess because of Susan’s story.
I had never met Susan before, but I have to tell you, she is a fantastic ambassador for chess. Our guests were non-political and represented senior US Government professionals who were excited to hear and learn about chess. Susan exposed a whole new group of people to chess and got them playing! We were lucky to have her.
Susan, come back soon!!!
Jim
Mr. Chief of Staff,
Thank you very much for your hospitality and for supporting chess! I am looking forward to hosting you in New York as well as having the opportunity to discuss more about chess.
Best wishes,
Susan
Thank you Mr. Wilkinson for choosing GM Polgar. She’s truly the best chess ambassador.
We would love to see a viedo recording of this grand meeting!
