Hi Bill - 
Thanks for the gorgeous book. You are such a rebel - no copyright, no publishing company, no ISBN number. The photos are remarkable. Your lifelong devotion to the principles of art - as you outlined them to me in 1966 -has been inspirational; from the post cards to the window reflections and on. I also want to thank you for being pretty much the sole teacher to treat me like a worthy human being and not some fuck up who needed to improve. High school was not the best time for me - I bloomed later - but your love and support and modeling of adult behavior was a bright spot in a dim time. I well remember much from that cluttered and dingy classroom. The testament to the power of that bond is that it has lasted all through these years. We have lived through almost all our ages in each other's consciousness and what lives we have shared. 
Please accept the enclosed collection of used newspaper articles and old liner notes as a humble gift in appreciation for all that you've given me and, in particular, your beautiful book, which is a true treasure to behold. 
Respekt.
