The Mechanics' Institute wishes to congratulate longtime security guard Tony Lama on the occasion of his 80th birthday! Anyone who attended weekend tournaments in the City was certain to meet Tony at the front entrance. He knew the names of many regulars. When I entered, he would kindly ask whom I was playing. Upon departure, he inquired of my result. Never a master himself (2088 peak rating), his love for chess remained strong over five decades.
