Well someone who actually lets me know who they are and even provides their full name; unusual guy! Looked ya up and found we've had some really nice communications since August 2005. Nice to hear from ya again.
Well I'll tell ya something between us and Billy, he certainly did me a good turn. I'd been making quotes on a thread at the AZB re a diagram and made a slight error in wording because the table situation changed somewhat in my mind from not going back to review the diagram. Well, let me tell ya, I was fighting off a pack of wolves from just a tine error in wording until Billy bailed me out by explaining to them what I'd really meant! I certainly owe him one.
I gave them some data re fundamentals and then managed a nimble exit. Wow! Escaped with my scalp!!!
Hey, of course you guys would understand my points; goes without saying. For all I know, I may not understand yours! Except for a few weeks years ago, I've been away from pool since 1965! Who knows what has been learned since then and who knows what I'm liable not to even remember. I sort of have to get my feet wetall over again and took a shot at getting on that forum for a few days. Won't be doing that again on any forum for awhile because I'm currently so overloaded with work ... I can't even tell ya just how overloaded I am with attempts to swing deals on getting back into business, selling a few more books, completing my move into this house, and so on and on.
I've been wanting to meet up with Artie B again for he also helped me quite bit for I know all about the post he made about me on one pocket dot org--I seen it. About time
someone decided I should be known for how I played. I'd complained to him upon our meeting here in Las Vegas awhile back and look what happened awhile later; wow! Don't get me wrong, I never wanted any glory and
definitely don't want to be in a hall-of-fame because, for I have good reason to believe I don't deserve such an honor. I never cared much for getting people to know how I played until Freddie began making up so many lies about me and why I was able to beat everyone who would play. If you only knew the whole truth you would be embarrassed for him. And what a disappointment from Grady! Last time I'd talked to him about why he posted along with Freddie that I'd never beaten anyone, his reply to my question as to why Bugs wouldn't play me in 1965 was that it was because he must have been 9-years old at the time!
Bugs was a year older than me!!!
Give my best to San Jose Dick; we had some nice talks when I was back in Phoenix and I even came across some nice things he said in my behalf. Shame he lost that game to Kelly in Johnston City years ago; who knows, he might have otherwise won the damn thing. I certainly know what thats like. Lost an international tournament by a single point against Navarro of Argentina in 1972 and had to quit the game once again.
Got a guy expected to pick up a refrigerator here in about ten minutes and so gotta sign off for now. I still don't get how these private messages work--don't ya have an email address? Mine is

Thanks for touching bases once again,
