Mike Nolan has demanded an apology. I am a bit surprised that he
demands this, because the truth of the situation is perhaps even more
embarassing than what I actually wrote.
So, anyway, I apologize for implying that Mike Nolan was ever
suspended from membership in the USCF. Mike Nolan was merely suspended
from directing chess tournaments rated by the USCF. The suspension was
in effect for about three years. Ironically, Tom Dorsch, an arch-enemy
of Mike Nolan who was the strongest advocate for suspending Mike Nolan
in the first place, was also the person who asked that the suspension
be lifted about three years later.
The reason for the suspension was that Mike Nolan either failed to
collect or failed to send in the USCF Membership dues for some players
who had played in tournaments rated by the USCF and directed by Mike
Nolan. This happened in approximately 1984.
So, I have apologized. Does that make you feel better, Mike?
