Ahhh Hunter old friend, so many fond memories of you. You had more of an impact on me than you know. As an artist & designer at heart oh how I ached to see you way more noticed, appreciated & of course well compensated for your great visions & masterpieces. You're one of the most delightfully eccentric men Ive ever known & have had the joy of good fellowship with. The coool tunes, the BEST dog
