Thornton Garst who you mentioned in this. I was looking up his name to see if anything came up, and this was one of the first ones! Being skeptical, I looked more into (even though I was sure it was him) and saw Ramon's name. I literally gasped. It was great seeing this, such a lovely surprise. I read the whole thing. It is such a wonderful account. I know you hardly mentioned my granfather, but it was great seeing him remembered like this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10753868768544926696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036141628360109464.post-56251662092053991362009-01-23T11:07:00.000-08:002009-01-23T11:07:00.000-08:00This comment is from an email to me from the son o...This comment is from an email to me from the son of Ramon Cadiz, whose cat is pictured in the part about my pre-teen experiences.<BR/><BR/>"Fascinating to come across your recollections of my father from the Tucson days. He died in 1991, you know, of an aneurism in his groin. He was 57. His brother C. Thornton Garst lives in Boston, is 85 years old, and as I understand from his daughter Frannie (my cousin, of course), he\'s recently undergone some kind of surgery for lung cancer (he stopped smoking many decades ago, as it happens). Garst became a Buddhist a looong time ago; I remember as a kid (in the 80s mostly) when he and his late wife, Eleanor, would spend time here with us in their travels between Soquel, where they lived for many, many years, and Mt Shasta, where they were involved with an ashram for a long time. So Garst lives...His son Ray Garst has a graphic design business in Santa Cruz, if i\'m not mistaken. <BR/><BR/>Well, thanks for your remembrances"<BR/><BR/>Ramon Cadiz Jr.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495729337610385120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036141628360109464.post-34608573588592231292007-10-23T15:05:00.000-07:002007-10-23T15:05:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Weldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925333424620383593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036141628360109464.post-31371024168399115422007-10-23T14:58:00.000-07:002007-10-23T14:58:00.000-07:00I think we are witness to the rebirth of the great...I think we are witness to the rebirth of the great American blahg!Weldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925333424620383593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036141628360109464.post-82083478719900350352007-10-23T14:34:00.000-07:002007-10-23T14:34:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Weldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925333424620383593noreply@blogger.com
