On June 2, we had the pleasure of attending Glen Dawson's 100th birthday party in Pasadena where we knew barely a soul but met many from Glen's life and world. We picked a lunch table at random and found ourselves planted next to Walt Davies who proceeded to regale us with the story linked here. You won't regret the time spent.
