History of the Cadillac Chess Club Part 2: Expansion

Well the club was starting to get 4-6 players every week and that was crowded for Paul's house. I do not know who, it might have been Ray Mayer, a regular player today or Ron Jacobs or both, that got the a room at the Cadillac High School. This is where the club meet for next 10 years give or take. I, Rick Spangler found the club in 1993 and who did I play first Paul. He beat me up badly and I have been coming ever since. I came to find out Paul was a TD, so started to talk to he about doing tournaments at the club. This is how the Cadillac Open began and where I will pick up next time.
