And @Gambrel, who started this spinoff thread, was the same guy as @IceCold. Arther Watts, long-time site user who was also at different times @ChessPraxis and @aspviper666, who passed away not so long ago.

You were also a Butcher?

Art and I had a long conversation on the phone back many years ago. I believe he lived in Colorado at the time, if memory served me right. We played on the same Team on another site as well. He was an above average Chess player. He will be missed by many.

A difficult time for you having known him in person. He was a nice fellow to talk with on the phone we talked for several hours one evening. Sorry to hear about you falling asleep at the wheel. I hope you were not seriously hurt or hurt anyone else! Rough working 2 jobs, I did it for years well it was the one job but 16-18 hour days!!!
