    I'm not exactly positive which days I will be in town.  I am expecting
    to escort 15 customer at the show, but none of them has committed
    to a timeframe at this time.  I would live to meet with my fellow
    Bagelnoters if at all possible, so please keep me informed.

|     This note was intended to be added to the DECWORLD topic, however
    as a rookie noter, I wrote as opposed to replied. (A serious error
    as I now see)  So instead of making a total mess out of this topic
    #336 lets just make it a brand new topic and talk about:
    
                             JEWS IN SPORTS
        
    This actually was a category in Double Jeopardy the other night.
    I only got two of the answers correct:
    
    For $200:  Who is Sandy Koufax
    For $400:  Who is Mark Spitz
    
    If anyone else knows of other famous or not so famous Jewish athletes
    (past or present) I would love to learn about them.
    
    Shabbat Shalom,
    
    Aaron

    This reminds me of that scene in Airplane where the 
    stewardess asks a passenger if he would like something
    to read:
    "Would you like something to read?"
    "Yes, thank you."
    "Would you like a book or something light?"
    "Something light."
    "How about Famous Jewish Sports figures?"
    "That'll be fine."
    Then she hands him a slip of paper.
