Even if it takes 4-5 hours driving from Buffalo for Ed Bruch in his 90's, and he probably won't be able to make it - I think it is a good thing to show him respect and send an invitation letter.

Knowing him quite a bit, I can tell you - there might be surprises here and he may show up !!! Chances are not complete zero

Remember - he is an official NY State Champion in 3-moves and GAYP.

Sincerely,

Alex

Jolt, your profile shows that your location is Universe, but you didn't specify - which particular Universe. There are many of them and if someone from another Galaxy wants to find you - he/she maybe confuse with directions.
