Many memories...
-
... superbly directing SuperStars in Vegas without a hitch and with a
remarkable sense of humor
-
... seems like yesterday, but fourteen years ago when Al Weissman's Letters
for Expert Game Players had a consensus game in progress: many panelists,
including me, picked the word MIKE that was playable. Mike Wise was one of
the two Commentator Mikes (Baron was the other). Al published my thoughts
about my most pleasurable first meeting with fellow panelist Mike Wise.
-
... being a consistent voice of reason with a pleasant tone when I have had
the pleasure of working with Mike for the last several years on the
Scrabble Rules Committee
-
... him approaching Mady Garner, with Lynda, to profusely thank Mady for a
"fun" time at the conclusion of the last Gatlinburg tourney, the last time
I saw him.
Mensch Mike will be in my thoughts forever.
