Of course you were.... <thinks> I have it. All these people are only famous because they had their picture taken with Buka... or because he was present in the vicinity while they were recording something or filming something. <thinks some more. Hastily packs and runs off to catch a plane to Hawaii to take a picture with Buka>
It was an odd day. I had just left Hawaii the month before, was back in Boston, my buddy Garrett [originally from Boston but now a stunt coordinator in L.A.] called, thinking I was still on Maui. I told him I was in Hyde Park [old home town] he said, come on by, we're in Lower Mills! I asked "where?" He gave me general directions and said "just look for the house with snow on the walkway and steps." It was October and sixty degrees - it was Hollywood snow. So I went and hung out for the day.
Can't speak enough about Garrett. Great kid, great student, grew up to be a good man and one hell of a Stunt Coordinator.
This is him when he was a youngin'.
