Default Edward G. Winter from Wikipedia

I got a big kick out of two passages:

"Attention has focused on Taylor Kingston, a chess journalist in
Vermont. Kingston is about the same age that Winter appears to be.
Kingston is from the same part of England that Winter is believed to be
from." - Wow, I didn't know that Vermont (where I live now) and
San Diego, California (where I was born and lived until 1980) are part
of England.

"This puts Winter at almost exactly the same age as Taylor Kingston
(whose name may also be a pseudonym)." - Boy, that age similarity
is the clincher. Case closed! And I'm shocked to learn that for the
last 57 years I've been using a wrong name!

Sam, thanks for the best laugh I've had all week.
