Thanks for sharing dad. Terry dropped me off and then picked me back up several weeks later at the Mexican border for my NOLS trip to Baja. He was the first adult that spoke to me openly about my drug use and didn't judge me (at least that is my recollection), just told me to keep it in check, not worth getting all carried away about it. Nice, laid back Cali attitude that was much needed for a midwestern kid struggling to find my way. Those may have been my only interactions with him, at least the only ones I remember. He certainly stuck in my head as a cool uncle that had his shit together. I would have liked to have known him better.
I really like the story of your interaction with Terry. What a unique way you remembering him. More than unique, a very meaningful and maybe transforming experience for midwestern kid. Thanks for sharing.
