Mike and I first met when he was building the Hilton in Tucson. I went onsite and we met in the construction trailer. He opened his bound and pristine quarter-sheet blueprints, at which time I took a red pen and started writing on them. I asked him a question and he just stood there, eyes glazed. I wondered if he was deaf or having a stroke. He eventually said in a low growl, "Don't you ever write on my blueprints again!" Writing on someone else's blueprints is worse than doing a tap dance on their Ferrari. A couple of years later we became partners in a boat which we kept in San Carlos. Our biggest challenge was to see how many different ways we could cook "blues" (very large shrimp) in one afternoon. Five was the number. Yes, Josh, we saved the spicy killer shrimp for last, which Mike introduced me to in Marina del Rey. If it were not for Mike, I would not have lived in Marina del Rey and would not have met my Marina who is my loving wife. However, we were able to get even when we introduced Marina's friend, Rita, to Kent's friend, Mike. I am not able to attend the service nor the memorial; however, at each time I will be having shrimp, Pacifico and thinking about the countless wonderful times Mike and I shared . . . . except for the first five minutes we met! - Kent
