I don't think he can log PIC unless the person he was with was a CFI.
He said he didn't fly taildraggers for 20 years. This would mean he
is not current to act as PIC with passengers until he does 3 full stop
landings. If he wants to log it as PIC I think to be perfectly legal
he should also log it as dual received and have the CFI sign it
(assumong the guy was a CFI).

He can definitely log total time regardless.
