An Enduring Mystery

(2)

Interestingly, Gerash's aggressive 'nature,' and his intimacy with The Lie served him well in his choice of occupation. Lawyers are notorious liars. (Mr. tap-tap, or Ms tap-tap, or Gerash himself, is up there as I type this, doing the usual tap-tap. I am convinced that Gerash himself spends lots of time up there.) Furthermore, lawyers, as 'officers of the court' are virtually immune from criminal prosecution. Jewish lawyers are even more immune. I think Gerash took advantage of this by engaging in (tap) 'ethically questionable' activity including investigating and intimidating witnesses, and possibly even jurors (tap), especially in what he calls, 'seven and eight figure' lawsuits. In any case, there is no doubt that Gerash was successful enough to eventually become a multi-millionaire. But there is something unsatisfying about the lie as a way of life. Gerash longed to find his 'soul mate.' (Gerash actually married and had children, although he later divorced. I think I've met two of them so far. More about that later.)

When did Gerash 'discover' me. That is a mystery. My impression (tap) is that it was sometime during the late '60s. If I am correct about that it means Gerash was stalking me for at least five years before that first meeting at the Denver Chess Club in -'75-'76.
