was from Boston. A graduate of MIT. He actually volunteered to be where we were.
I really wish I had a photo of Tom Jewell today.
Take & keep photos & videos people...somebody may enjoy the Memories some day...
And I have often wondered about the fate of
Nin te Vung & her family...

Were these people involved in your bball/'Horse' $$$$ games? BTW: besides stereo speakers in Hong Kong (and a purple satin smoking jacket for brother John) what did you do with all that earned cash? HHHmmmm....do these friends know?
It was actullay 2/68 til 3/69. Stan Taylor was the angel on my right shoulder. He was the guy that set me up to play a 1on1
competition. John Beard was the devil on my left shoulder. Beard told me there is a lot of $$$ to be made selling stuff to the Troops. He wanted me 'cause the troops liked me. I went w/ Taylor & he did the whole gambling/promotion hype thing that a white boy will kick your ass! Challenge, Taylor was a black guy. Beard was a white guy. So Taylor arranged things. It lasted more than a week (coulda been a month) and Taylor was handing me cash as I crushed all challengers! I think about it today & Taylor preceded Don King! Anyway, I was pleased w/ my take. It was really intense competition. It was pretty much the only thing going on after 7PM 2 nights a week & Taylor was the Carnival Barker & I was his Boy...Funny stuff. He probably made 2x's more than me!
Meanwhile, Beard finally got caught & disappeared with The MP's never to be heard from again.
So, you refuse to answer our question...i.e., what happened to all the money & how much did you win? We suspect it was used to set up your various profit centers which are artfully disguised as a causal life style of life by a private pool, expensive condo, new automobile every two years, high stakes card games in said condo, expensive Russian Vodka consumed and outlets in California & Spain......one more time Pea, "what happened to the money and how much?" Talk, or we have ways......
I'm thinking that I ended up wit $300Large that I had to smuggle out of country (which also cost me a dime or two)...
