But maybe his memory used to be better.  (Happens to us all. <wink>)  In
its "Tim Peters" section, the book "Learning Python" says:

   Come to think of it, only one person we have talked to claims to
   have _met_ Tim in person, and that's Guido.  Makes you wonder...

And I've wondered ever since.  But Tim cleared that up recently when he
said that he had met Aahz.  So that gives us two witnesses.  Oh, and of
course there's the famous BeOpen "party animal" picture.
