A Life Examined

I continue to learn new things about Dewey and really appreciate the help I've received. Guy Motil is a deep, well informed, and thoughtful reservoir of information and insight. His book on surfboards is a work of art and probably the best one ever produced. We spoke with Caroline about the period Guy ran Weber shops in Venice and Hermosa. Hearing about his many adverturous sojourns to the Ranch with Dewey held me spellbound.

And Sparky Hudson, a much featured 60s Jacobs team rider has greatly enhanced my understanding of the South Bay and has been super generous with stories and introductions. Our recent visit with Sparky in Hawaii was enjoyable and productive. Here's a pic of some of the boards in Sparky's quiver.

Hi Jerry,
I just found you on Facebook. See if you can remember back to Kodiak Alaska early 70's and a Green Volkswagon named "THUNDER" and a couple named Gary and Anna Nichols? Well this is Gary. We are living in Santa Paula, Ca please give me a shout so we can get together.
Thanks,
Gary Nichols
