LAPLACE -- Roger Patrick of LaPlace and Dudley Williams, previously of Kenner, have been playing chess against each other for more than 20 years.

Over time, the membership dwindled, and ultimately Patrick and Williams were the only two who consistently came to play. “Club” was rather a fancy name for the loose association of people who came to play chess on Thursdays. Patrick became the de-facto president because he was the person who came most consistently, but they seldom conducted business, had no dues, and met solely for the purpose of playing chess.
