That man, William J. Lombardy, is my father! Haven't spoken to him in forever.. but that will change soon..

Thanks for sharing!!!..first time I have ever heard Lombardy speak!!!...maybe since Bobby's passing.......he'll write about the 72 match!

i know youre father, hes a great man..he took me in when i had nowhere else to go..bill is like a father to me as well...he talks about you a lot...he misses you..when you come back to new york, take what he says with a grain of salt and dont let your uncle intervene. and i'll be sure to show you around.

my father once slayed a grizzle bear with his bare hands....then he played god satan and the ghost of paul morphy 3 simual games at once while blindfolded...and my father won all three...

[RCLOMBARDY]

he's working on a few things..might take a while though..
