I thought it was 'Donut Myers'. He fell on me a couple of times in that game and it gave me permanent claustrophobia.
Jim....the only way that I know that it was' Favors' is ;when I went with Tom's Foods in Columbus,Ga in 1973 and the VP Personal was introducing me to some of the Dept Heads I was introduced to a David Favors.I said ,'You don't by any chance go by the name of Donut do you?'He said ...Sure do.
I'll have to tell you that story some time.
