I call him the 'Bulldog'
for he was tenacious and resourceful.
In a tournament in Salt Lake
I saw him turn a draw into a win.
That same day, he did a great job
changing a loss to a draw. Just when you
thought he had no chance, his great Pirc
Defense would turn the trick.
Idaho's son, he was the greatest one,
a tough opponent we won't forget soon.
I always wanted to play him but never did.
Savvy folks know he hailed from Idaho
and will be remembered there forever.
Here's to his memory, hail to the Chief!
