Got spanked. I went there to watch some kind California tour. Also met and played Robin Bell in a tournament. It was a fun trip for a young player especially getting to hear Freddy Snakeskin on KROQ playing Echo and The Bunnyman.

Was he a pretty strong player in your estimation?

Dean was a very strong player from St. Louis (Illinois side). Played him once gambling around 1990 and he beat me pretty bad. I was green so not much threat to him. He was probably around 10-15 years older than me. In todays terms, I would guestimate him to be about a 720 Fargo.
