Also never played

I was introduced to the game and initially coached in the nuances by Doug Miller, now a CAJA player. At the time (ca 1977), we both worked for a software & consulting company in Norwalk, CT. That was where I started my jai-alai computer work.

My first project was to tally finishes and payoffs for Bridgeport's first 4,030 games. I used the monthly chart books to do this - still have 'em.

Anyway, Doug used to get guys from work to go to BPT. I guess I knew at the time that he played at Milford Amateur, but I didn't realize he had been involved in its setup, even arranging some of the investment.

Thanks, Doug. There probably wouldn't be any Chalk Talk without you.
