Thanks. He taught me a lot. He taught me to play "Indian Head" poker which is not a very PC term but what he called it. One time my girlfriend and I popped Black Beauties and stayed up all night with him playing for pennies listening to Dylan, Prine, Joplin, and a host of others. He had been horribly disfigured and handicapped from having been in a fire as a small child. He was a cartographer who named the street I grew up on Easy Street because if a street had no name he just gave it one. He also only had 2 fingers and an unusual thumb on the hand he drew with. He was truly an individual and he gave me the courage to be different.
