Daria Simion Redlinger (ROM): We have been deeply touched when we received from Mr Miron Sferle the 143rd issue of Correspondence Chess magazine where the article 'Chess Art - We commemorate the Romanian Centenary' beautifully presents a series of paintings of the painter Alma Redlinger, our mother, and a brief resume and evokes the portrait of our father Ladislau Redlinger and one of his last chess games. And we also appreciate the reproductions of our masters Corneliu Baba and Alexandru Ciucurencu - as we find beautiful the layout of the pages. Thank you again, and also to Mr Miron Sferle.
Miron Sferle (ROM): It's hard for me to find the right words to thank you for this absolutely great SCCA Magazine 143. The pages dedicated to the Romanian Centenary represent a wonderful combination of the art of some well-known Romanian painters and chess. Once again, thank you and keep up the great work! PS. Mrs. Daria Simion Redlinger thank you warmly too.
Tom Matheis (SCO): Thanks for the latest magazine. A great and informative read as always.
Miron Sferle (ROM): Thank you for the last number of SCCA Magazine, interesting and with great graphics, as usual. Thanks also for the publicity made for Romania 100 tournaments.

Lionel Peeters (BEL): I have seen that your friend George Pyrich is deceased. Sincere condolences to you and at his family.
