History of a chess booklet owner

Summarized by AI from the post below

Chess Set Collectors  ·

Hey everyone. I just wanted to share some research that I conducted. Pictured here, you can see the very first correspondence chess booklet that I have ever purchased. It is unused, except that it has the name Kirt D. Wood stamped on it and its packaging multiple times. It also has his location as being Orem, Utah. Naturally, as a fan of history, I had to dig in. And what I found was really cool.

Kirt DeMar Wood was born in Hurricane, Utah, to father John Andrew and mother Laura Elizabeth Wood in December of 1923. He graduated from Salt Lake City schools before ultimately receiving a B.S. in Education and an M.S. in Education Administration from the University of Utah. He seems to have been a godly man, having been an active member of the LDS Church. He even served as a high priest that also served as secretary of the High Priest Quorum. In that position, he served also as President and teacher in the Elders Quorum. He also held other roles, including those involving Sunday school.

Professionally, he was also employed as an elementary school teacher at Twin Peaks Elementary for 30 years where he worked as a 5th and 6th grade teacher. While there, he sponsored that school's chess club. At one point, he served in World War II and was a Purple Heart recipient. In addition to being an active chess player, other hobbies that he engaged in included skiing, poetry, and racquetball, the last of these being particularly interesting to him as evidenced by the fact that he served as the President of the Orem Racquetball Club.

He passed away at 63 years old in November of 1987 after having suffered from multiple myeloma. He was survived by his wife, Camilla, their two sons, four daughters, 21 grandchildren, brother, two sisters, and likely many friends.

I always love digging into the history of the chess items that I come into possession of. It is always fascinating to me to know a little bit about the story of those who owned items that have now made their way to me. Should I ever pass away, I hope that others can have the same kinds of surreal experiences with these artifacts that I do today.
