I reiterate: All the stories are true in that the main events really took place and the opening lines really were uttered, all of them sincerely and hopefully. However, the conversations are imagined--I was a first-hand witness to only one-- but I'm betting that they are pretty close to the truth since I know the characters so well and they told their stories so eloquently. And, by the way, I've changed the names of the players to protect them from any real or imagined embarrassment and me from any real or imagined lawsuits. You understand. Enjoy the ride and relate.
