About Johnny Moss
From the book: Missouri & Me

I remember drawing the same tournament table as Johnny Moss, then a living legend fondly known as ‘The Grand Old Man of Poker.” I sat across from poker royalty as we waited for the game to begin. Mr. Moss asked to see my antique pocket watch I had set on the table and as he admired my watch he shared the story of the pocket watch his father bequeathed him long before I was born.
