pps Also due to the wonders of modern technology Willy reaches out to me now and again across the decades and the waters of deportation to try to rekindle the semi-dool flame. I guess I should say doo too the wunders. It's a small(er) world.

ps I had a chess hustler in my wayward youth! One of my two ltr SeTi's. "Willy". Not a grand master. We did rent a room for a while from Grand master Pal Benko though. We hung out a lot with Shelby Lyman. This was in the mid 80s. Shelby wanted to go out with me after I broke up with Willy. What the wiki article doesn't say straightaway is that the World Chess championship Shelby hosted on PBS was Fisher Spassky. I see Pal and Shelby both passed recently, very close in time. The wonders of modern technology. I'm sorry to hear that Roshan. But it is indeed one of the 'wonders' of modern technology to help us remember them. Like I said in my last post it is a small(er) world, I've heard Finegold mention Pal Benko in his videos multiple times.

Oh God...
I'm not sure how but I missed the last two lines of your post.
I just saw it now when anthony quoted it. I'm sorry to hear that. I apologize.

Don't be sorry. They were old as the hills. I really don't think I would have wanted to see them at 95 anyway and Benko wouldn't even remember me unless I reminded him of when Willy slugged the other tenant and he and his monthy income left.
I assure you it was far worse last year when Yassar the 20 year old cashier in the Yemeni deli died of leukemia. But thank you for implementing the customary etiquette, it's a very good habit to have! Most people aren't as stoic about individual death as I am.
Of course when Wolfgang disappeared off the face of the planet last year, age aside, that was another story.
This is what it came to eventually. Why people should not join here unless they want to join here.

Arthur Kane died suddenly, after the reunion, also of leukemia, undiagnosed, a Mormon librarian died the New York Doll.

What an horrible disease... May the little Prince smile in Heaven.
I'll read about Kane tomorrow.
