As I approach the end of May & early retirement, I want to say a heartfelt thanks to all who have supported me over 30+ years in comms & involvement. I am incredibly blessed, fortunate & proud to end my career in a role I've cherished, with people I admire, & adore @WYpartnership

Easter morning, Southside, Chicago, Illinois, April 1941. The only one of the five boys that’s identified is the tall, hatless teenager in the middle, named Spencer Lee Readus, Jr., who was 14 when the photo was taken. Spencer Lee went on to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II and build a career as a plaster foreman. According to his daughter, he remembered the day as, “I was going to the show on Easter Sunday and a white man approached me to ask if he could take a picture of me and these other boys.”

RIP to the incomparable Doyle Brunson, poker’s original and most-enduring superstar. Someone should make the definitive documentary on the poker boom generation’s influencers whilst they are still at large. theguardian.com/sport/2023/may…
