    Mr Zane. I met you and your brother in Eugene in 82. Always much love to you and your family. I wanted to say that I have always held that meeting in very high regard in my life. !! And I will never forget Mr Jed. Forever in peace.

      I remember when I was a teen and wanted some particular blotter art and so I reached out to Zanes company and when I called he himself answered the phone and was happy to talk and accommodate me. Meant a lot to me considering I too was heavily influenced by his father.

      Yesss!!!! Joshua Victor Bempechat, the author of; "THE POLITICS OF POT' A Study Of Fact & Fiction" & also the seemingly tight tra elin & studyin compodre to Jack Herer who is the author of "THE EMPORER WEARS NO CLOTHES " It is an amazing book that should be in every school library & on every freedom fighters shelf. In short Josh sees/ believes, as I do that the truest currency in the world is what I call, as does Warren Hanes as well, "SOULSHINE". We ... I should speak for myself, I believe that physical currency as we know it is just a reflection, if you will, of what I believe to be the truest currency in the world for the sake of measure etc.

      Yes indeed. That comment "spirit is the currency" kind of puts into words what I get from The Dead. It is all about spirit. I'm learning that for real after all these years. I never trusted in that concept, but for whatever reason or whatever, the seed that was planted in me 35yrs ago has begun to sprout. A healthy sprout of faith in that concept. I can really feel it the last few yrs. Finally

    Saw Ken give a talk at Duke University in 93. Always felt a spirit link with him since and its never wasted moments to listen to or read what he had to say! Could roll tape or read Kezey novels all day. Still have not finished "Sometimes a Great Notion" though and I first picked it up 30 years ago. Read most of the others since...just got stuck on the details in that one.

      @zanekesey  5 років тому +3

      Read wiki furthur..... Yes, May 18th is when it blew its top off. But Wiki also states this:
      At 7:05 p.m. on June 12, a plume of ash billowed 2.5 miles (13,000 ft; 4.0 km) above the volcano. At 9:09 p.m. a much stronger explosion sent an ash column about 10 miles (53,000 ft; 16 km) skyward.[48] This event caused the Portland area, previously spared by wind direction, to be thinly coated with ash in the middle of the annual Rose Festival.[49] A dacite dome then oozed into existence on the crater floor, growing to a height of 200 feet (61 m) and a width of 1,200 feet (370 m) within a week.
