Was happy to see an Amarillo Slim reference. His was the first poker book I read, when I was 16 or thereabouts.

Opps, my college weak spot was taking four terms of German. Brutal. German 4 had three students (branch campus), and I was clearly the dumbest. Hard to evade being aware you're the dumbest with three people in the class. I was told, at one point, that I was a disgrace to my name. The professor's name was Haag. My name, unfortunately, is Dietz.

Not sure what my college GPA would have been without those German classes. Probably about 3.8.
