IA Ken Stewart
#2
My memories of Ken.

I am really going to miss Ken. Along with Donald and Alex, Ken was a major source of help and inspiration for me when I was a budding arbiter wanting to become an IA. Never quick to judge and always with the right advice when I needed it. When I moved into the organisational side of Chess and became a Director, I felt out of place being the youngest there by some years. Ken was one of the ones who prodded me in the right direction when I was going off path and happyily helped when I needed advice.

AGMs were always fun when Ken was there. Woe betide the person who submitted a motion that was incompetent (I was on the wrong side of this a few times!). Incredibly sharp witted and able to put a point across that was hard to argue against.

I know from speaking to Ken he was looking to stand down in the next couple of years. This would have been his last re-election.

I am both humbled and honored to have both learned from and worked with Ken. He was a Gentleman in all aspects of the word and I will sorely miss him

RIP Ken
