Companionship wanted: Lucas's chess and a cup of tea

Lucas lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Lucas, who's 88. Lucas lives alone in Aberdeen, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives 720 kilometers away. Lucas loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Thank you for reading my story.
