Hello chesswally,

your parcel has arrived safe and sound here on December 14 th. I have opened it 2 days ago in the evening because it is a Christmas parcel, of course.

The content of the parcel has surprised and delighted me in every way and made me smiling the whole time - still now again.

You have made a lot of thoughts and found some very suitable references to my profile!

Thank you very much for not only one book but three:

Thank you too for the Christmas postcard including the recipe for Baked apple with vanilla sauce, the Ready to go - 2 in 1 shower, the Jack Daniel´s Tennessee whiskey swiss chocolate liquor and the handmade headband.

Your parcel is one of the best ever parcels I got!

Thanks again!

Journal Entry 2 by Simson-Shilitoe at Neewiller-près-Lauterbourg, Alsace France on Tuesday, December 26, 2017
Ken Doherty is one of the most talented and successful snooker players ever to have picked up a cue, and the only player ever to win the Under 21, Amateur, and World Snooker Championships.

In this honest and emotional autobiography, Ken tells how he went from the World Snooker final at the Crucible to qualifying tables of Prestatyn and back again, and reveals what it means to lead a Life in the Frame.

Born in Ranelagh, a south-eastern district of Dublin, Ireland, Doherty learned his trade in the legendary Jason's snooker hall, standing on a biscuit tin to try and reach the balls. Coached by former Irish international Paddy Miley, the young Doherty found he had a natural talent with the cue and entered in to various amateur competitions, including the Irish Amateur Championships.

In 1989, at the ripe age of 20, Doherty won the World Amateur Championship and was duly invited to become a professional of the game. Four years later, after losing his first Grand Prix to Jimmy White, Ken went on to win his first ranking title, the Welsh Open, which was enough to catapult the "Darlin of Dublin" into the top 16 players in the world.

Doherty etched his name in the record books in 1997 by becoming only the third player outside the United Kingdom to win the World Championship, beating Stephen Hendry 18-12 in the final at the Crucible. Returning to Ireland a hero, Doherty would go on to play in two more World Championship finals and stay in the top 16 for over a decade.
