First met him at the GRCC concert in May 1989. Last time I ran into him was before the Paramount Theater concert in October or November 1991. Found out there wasn't going to be another chance to meet him again while working a temp job in Boston. Still not sure what I learned from all that.
I'm quite proud of the things she's done as well.
The tables look much nicer than when I was there. :)
