Thank you for your supportive words. You strike me as the kind of fellow who has a real eye for talent. You mention that he is both brilliant and little known. He has lived with being little known his whole life. He has always fantasized about becoming somewhat known. Perhaps you would like to facilitate this by encouraging everyone on your extensive email list (I assume) to subscribe. Not only would he be grateful. He would call you a friend.

E and I are enjoying your memoir. We of course didn’t know about the headache which may have been right after I saw you last. I certainly hope it wasn’t me that caused the heartache.

Hmm? We did go down memory lane a bit. Well I’m glad it didn’t kill you and people like to say “what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Personally I think that’s bullshit, otherwise a lot of us would be a hell of a lot stronger than we are. All the best, hope to catch up soon. S

whoever this man is, he's obviously a brilliant, if little known writer, and athlete. Surprising for a little Jewish kid. The only other one of his kind being of course, Sandy Koufax. I heard he qualified for the Illinois State High School Tennis tournament and went on to dominate the little Ivy's....even if he didn't get to Wimbledon as a player, at least he was able to see Federer in the finals. Sometimes life gives you what you need, maybe not what you want? (yes, Jagger)
