Do you recall Rafael, the Colombian young man who contacted csam? He is the one who plays "Mexican style" (probably a result of Gustavo's visits over there). He tells me he saved enough to come to worlds and he is in the process of applying for a visa. I hope he gets it (although he will be a tough competitor in fixed tip . . . )

I haven't heard from the traditional Colombian players since Takeshi visited them back in January with the Duncan tour. I know there was some talk about a Duncan sponsorship. I have been meaning to write to them. Yes, I think I have a phone number.
