[FRIAM] Chess and Horses

[Frank Wimberly]

Nothing has appeared here for awhile as far as I know.

This morning at "physical" Friam I mentioned that in 1967 a research
organization that I worked for hired a young guy as a "runner".  He carried
boxes of cards and printer output between our offices and the University of
Pittsburgh computer center.  In the meantime, he was a chess master and
could beat everyone in the office simultaneously while blindfolded.  His
father was Cantor, apropos of nothing.  Here is a link I found:
