What Would Rex Sinquefield Think?

In a post on the new website WhyChess by willy.iclicki, titled, Was Campomanes a KGB agent? (http://www.whychess.org/en/node/944), he writes, "Of course, there’s not enough money in chess, but then you’ll always find a couple of suckers to throw a few million dollars into chess before it disappears."
I could not help but wonder what Rex Sinquefield, the wealthy patron who put up the money to open the beautiful St. Louis Chess & Scholastic Center, and has now funded the new chess Hall of Fame across the street from the SLC&SC, which is to open next month, would think about what willy has written...
