  GrahamClayton: At the age of 80 Ronald Blow finished second in the 1988 Australian Reserves Championship. He also met Jose Capabalanca in 1918. Is he still alive?

  perfidious: <Chess Lou Zer: Could be worse. His first name could be Joe.>

Knew someone with that name growing up, and the surname was far from uncommon in that area.

Mar-01-15  Whitehat1963: First name could be Amanda. Far worse!
