Youth chess coach and mentor

For 45 years I've run the chess program at San Jose Our Lady of Peace Boxing Gym in San Jose. We trained 4 evenings a week, whatever the weather.
Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I stay late on Thursdays for anyone who needs it.
More about Ana
I still keep the team photo from our best season on the wall.
What gifts mean to Ana: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
