Jun-11-13  Graham1973: An open call for researchers. Dr N.F. Cooke turns up many times in the Chicago area chess news in contexts that imply he was fairly important person.

After the death of Daniel Starbuck he published an article in the Chicago based "Mirror of American Sports" which seems to have raised some controversy.

I've got no idea how to locate biographical information, so if anyone can, feel free.
