I met Selwyn at a conference around 1984 in San Francisco. I enjoyed talking with him. I can´t recall - it was a while ago after all - if he was at a table of folks playing bridge.

I´m not sure why I thought of Selwyn today, but I´m happy to post my memory of meeting him, pass on my sympathies so many years later, and wish that he rest in peace.
