I met him once in a marina I was working at in Sausalito (I think he had a boat berthed nearby and liked to watch people work on boats). I heard him talking with people along the dock and I recognized his unique voice from radio before I even saw him. He was cool and watched me work with keen eyes while he told neat stories. He told stories, asked questions about boats, and told more stories so he had an excuse to watch me work. We both learned something that day.

But Duane Garrett is the one I really miss. He wasn't old school (four years older then me), but I loved the way he thought and reasoned things. We may have been soul brothers in a past life because we connected that well. Sad he was forced over the cliff (well, bridge) for silly reasons when so many people would gladly have helped him if he only asked.
