were able to...visit one last time with Hash
in Fountain Valley, just before he died June, 2006

Bob's "Judean" on his mother's side...

HashPatel

this sequence best "captures" his "essence"... his "spirit"

AND....at our "usual" hangout...on the Deck..."Zelda's in Capitola

Mac, Bob, and Hash

this one photo..perhaps b

( ever wonder why there are so many Indian's named Patel...?

it means....."land owner" !

Hash was put through school at IU
by the "TATA Group"....who just brought out...

the world's "cheapest" car... $ 2,500 !!!

he married a girl he met there...

moved to "Silly Valley"....

an became a "legend" in the semiconductor biz ...

AND....at the tables....in Tahoe and Vegas ....

"Mr. H" ...is how he was called by the VP's at Caeser's
Harrah,s,etc....where we definitely took advantage of all the free penthouses,etc...

and I wrote just one or two actual........"episodes"...

like "... straight out of ... "Fear and Loathing in San Francisco" .... ?
