The actor Earnest Borgnine called me once and said he hadn't received his Los Angeles Herald Examiner that evening. I asked his area deliery manager to get one over to him. (I was working in customer service).

Oh, and on my working for Kasparov, mentioned earlier. Yes, I started a chess web site in 1998 in California and got a job offer from the Kasparov organization in 1999. I moved to the Manhattan area (aka Jersey City); I often saw Garry at our office near Wall Street and the famous bull on Broadway. Then the dot-com bust shut down the NY office and I moved to the Moscow office, where I also met Vladimir Kramnick, among other chess elites. (I luckily moved a few months before 9/11--I passed thru the WTC daily about 9 a.m.and had a gym membership there).
