I made an appointment to work with Richard Greenblatt when I was undergrad at
MIT.  It was about 1979, and we were going to resurrect that old program
(MacHack, as I recall) and improve it.  I had to get up early on a Saturday
morning (death for a college student!) to make the appointment.  Greenblatt, who
had a well-slept-in cot in his office and never made eye contact with me when we
set up the meeting, never showed up.  That was the end of my chess programming
career.
