Yes, it was a pleasure. We spoke for less than two minutes and Kevin was courteous and showed enthusiasm for his attendance at the US Open 9ball. He was there as a fan sweating matches in the bleachers, and he sat toward the back of the venue. He addressed me as a fan of the game and that is how I addressed him.
If I steered clear of chatting with all who have done hard time in prison, I'd have to steer clear of a lot of professional pool players. We both know who they are, and I'd be surprised if you don't enjoy chatting with some of them. Would it bother you to know that I also chatted with Rodney Morris at the US Open 9ball last week? In America, most of us view people who have done hard time as having paid their debt to society.
Yes, I do speak to a few people who have done hard time and, yes, sometimes it is an absolute pleasure.
