[SBE16-Seattle] Gary Hart

[Sam Roffe]

Every time I saw Gary I would ask him how he was doing.  He always said, “Just this side of perfect”.

I enjoyed working with him on the ISDN remotes I would set up for KBCS at Folk Life and when we did the farmer’s market in the Central District one year.

I suspect, honestly, that Gary had a much better idea what I was up to than my Father did, but they both believed that I could do this.  Now, almost 44 years on, both men are gone and I am, a little bit more, on my own.  I hope I make them proud.
