My friend, Mr. Where, gave me one of the best bday presents ever. I am not a fan of getting presents and I was especially a bit uneasy about this one. I think that Mr. Where is the only person I could even accept something like this.



Here is a little story about it. The day that Hunter died, I happened to be working with the news on in the background. I found out immediately after it was known that he had killed himself. I sent Mr. Where a message to let him know since we are both fans. He was at Powells Books in Portland at the time. The rare books section of the book store was closed, so he searched their catalog to see what HST books they had in there. He found this one and got an employee who would let him buy it. He was able to get the book before anyone at the bookstore knew that he had died. It was not cheap then, but I am sure it has gone up in value.

I am a bit surprised he gave it to me, but amazingly thankful.
