Fabulous. You are lucky to have had such a “cool” father!

I know these little synchronicities ... I was there ‘69 , ‘70 then onto Berkeley. English Lit. More in Chomsky vein but got into anthropology and ethnographic studies first at UCLA. Carlos Castenada. Didn’t know your father. Very cool man. Would’ve been great to have just reading the piece and his obituary.
