COMMENTS:
Scrabble has been a passion since the time that he was working on a client's garden and got caught in a sudden downpour. The client invited him in for a game of Scrabble until the rain stopped. He now spends all his spare time playing with partner, Wilma Vialle (who TDed the WSC in 1999), or creating and studying word lists. His most recent list has been all the botanical words allowed in Scrabble!
