Poker and friendship

Here is a link to an article Don Gilmour wrote about poker and the life and death of Paul Quarrington. A very good piece of writing, I think.

I knew Paul in the same way that hundreds of us knew him; I didn't see him very often but somehow he made me feel like we were good friends. Our contact was limited to the number of times he visited Calgary on a book tour, or to work on a television show shooting here, or with his band.

I never played poker with Paul and I regret that - even though I suspect he would have taken a lot of money off me.
