Did he make you nervous with his fidgeting? I met him during the San Juan

thought he was going to have a heart attack!

I was at that tournament. It was San Juan 1969. I played in the open
section. I defeated Hugh Myers and drew International Master Rene
Letelier of Chile. That was one of my best tournament results ever,
but it was never rated because of a dispute between Ed Edmondson and
Narcisso Rebel Mendez.
