He was finally evicted from his apt. on I spotted the Cheshire Cat at one of the Computer Security Institute Conferences in Chicago in the mid-eighties - either '84 or '85. He'd gotten in with a press pass (whose - unknown), was fairly well groomed (haircut), and seemed to be keeping a low profile.

My recollection was that Cheshire applies for press credentials to these sorts of things using the name of the press bureau from the old Darrin McGavin KOLCHAK:THE NIGHT STALKER series (Independent World News?); the PR types weren't in the habit of checking up on this. Last I'd heard, he'd gotten out of bit-pushing and was doing something fairly mundane somewhere in Florida. He's been keeping a VERY low profile the last few years.
