Thanks, Mark..
Re scrabble on phone - tt's the same game as far as I know. I'd be
surprized if he didn't have one. He certainly played extensively on
line against people and machines. In the early 90's before all the
fancy graphics, there was a great site called posldoom - back in the day
when I was still among the relative heavy hitters, we even played little
tourneys on it.
Occasionally I won one but - I never won a game against him on the pro
tour tho.
I did, however, beat Stefan in two tourney's - which he documented in
Word Freak.

Stefan asked me for a photo of Lester for this article.. (although the
credit reads "courtesy" I am getting paid :-))
The passing of the subject in February was yet another reason why I was
so depressed. Les and wife Joan were good friends and Lester was also
an old friend of my Richard's (who was another Flea House player and the
reason Funk and Wag was used for the "official" dictionary there.)
It's a lovely article - hope you read it..

Stefan cropped out the person Les was talking to, which works for the
article. The black and white rendering that was previously published
in the book Letterati is here:
