Wednesday Gamers

A decade ago I was invited to join the "Wednesday Gamers." This was a small group who had been playing miniature wargames together every Wednesday for decades. It was a rare gift to be in the company of these older men who had gone through life's joys and troubles, remained friends, patient with each's foibles, and continued to have a genuine enthusiasm for the hobby. Within a few years, as each retired, their situations fundamentally changed and the Wednesday gaming sessions stopped. I will forever be grateful to Al, Maurice, Leo, Kim, and Kevin.
