Dear Hands,
We have not yet agreed where to put the memorial or in what form it should
take. My suggestion of an uropygium has not been well received, and I am
consequently in disgrace 
There appears to be no urgency to resolve these vacuities. At some point in
the committee discussion we seemed to have reflected that the deceased
person by some means unknown to man committed wins against men.
It is my understanding that criminologists around the world completely
ignored these circumstances, as possibly a roman a clef, until Robert
Johannsen Fischer [new name no?] unwisely spoke of women's ineptitude at
chess. And even wise people in the professions 'slung their hook' with BJ,
and for a while we men rested secure in that way we have of enjoying what is
utterly false, trite and palpably unlikely to be real [except in the lexicon
of psychiatrists, who both assure us that it /is/ real to us, but by other
implication of their attitude, that one is a complete sicko! And this in my
opinion is a form of getting money and generally war-profiteering from us
sickos!]
Anyway, all we men all indulged in these superior feelings, and looked at
it, not.
Since that time both RJ and WE has been proven wrong, as indeed, as have so
many grandmasters who were, outside the game, generally clueless to the life
of their times on such a vast range of subjects they are almost impossible
to Liszt.
And on this musical exit, I am at present writing a fugue inspired by these
histories, and regret not making a more fulsome response to concerned
individuals of the fish-eating Nations of Northern Europe.
Corfu! Phil
