What a treat to meet General Akpufni, as he's known on my chess website, and his family! In addition to Reuben, we met his wife, Ellen, who is pregnant with their first child, a boy due at the end of October who will be named Chase, two of Reuben's sisters, Fatuma and Henne (sp?), and his niece, Jaden. Jaden gets a big grin on her face whenever she looks at the General, much like the grin I get when talking to him on my website. Jaden and I see through that tough-talking General veneer!
We had a delicious dinner at Reuben and Ellen's place and chatted well into the night. Meeting friends like this is always the highlight of any trip for Jan and I.
Thanks for everything Reuben and Ellen!
