Hi John -- long time no see.

I have lots of memory shards from that 1980 tourney. It was my first activity after a long and terrible illness, and my last before I emigrated to Israel.

We Montrealers were very smug about Toronto then, and we used to snicker among ourselves any chance we got. Well, we could hardly contain ourselves when we got to Simpson's and found that Krepakevitch -- who, I think, was organizing things -- had posted a large sign that read DINNING ROOM.

Participants were given Scrabble-board mirrors.

If you want more, I could dig deeper and come up with more anecdotes, and maybe even some results.
