Hi all, am I missing something? I dismissed him as all my searches stated he was born in 1915. Clues indicated in 1932 at the age of 12 he won his first competition. Just looking at Wikipedia and they too have the same discrepancy with dates. As Julius Sumner Miller would say " How is this so"

The panic is over, for me at least. One flight a day from the Provincial City I was in, at 6.50 a.m. Yesterday 2 extra fights were put on at 12.25 p.m. and 3.45 p.m. All fully booked !! After hanging around the airport on standby, I finally got on a flight at 3.45 p.m., so now safe in a Manila hotel awaiting my flight to Melbourne Sunday afternoon. The typhoon is forecast to hit Manila Monday or Tuesday, so I'll be well gone.
This is another "Super" typhoon and will hit the areas devastated by "Yolanda" at this time last year. Sadly, I expect there will be considerable loss of life again.
Once again, thank you all for the concern and good wishes.
Hanging around the Hotel for a couple of days, I'm ready to start playing !!! Who Is This I mean...
