Tom Wiswell, from Victor Niederhoffer
Tom Wiswell ended his last set of proverbs with "a million moves ago– the good old days. All times when old are good. So many moves, so many variations. So many players–so many friends."
Shortly thereafter, he came late for the first time in 25 years to his weekly checkers board meeting at our offices. "Victor, I couldn't remember the floor to get off". A week later he was in a veteran's hospital for loss of memory.
