Bruce Bilder gave me this info in a phone conversation on 8/19/10: Bruce’s dad, Bill, who thought he was pretty good at poker, wanted to play with Erwin Grad and Erwin told him to hold on to his money as he would need it. He could have taken it all with no trouble. One time Erwin called the Staten Island Ferry and asked them to hold the ferry as he did not want to miss it since it was the last one of the night. He told the ferry office that a party of 40 would be there in a few minutes. The ferry waited about 10 minutes and Erwin comes in and bought the ticket and said he was ready to go. They told him they were waiting for a party of 40. He said “That's me. I’m 40 yrs. Old”
