Gunter Kellotat (1932-2009) Memorial Library
Gunter joined our club around the turn of the century. He brought a different perspective to the game (he played the Latvian, for instance) and just had a way about him that made you want to sit across the board and play a game. His chess books were donated to the club and acknowledged here. He is dearly missed.
