"LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING"!

Dennis Muren and I were childhood friends. When we were thirteen years old we would make home movies in his garage. He would create the special effects and my brother and I were the actors. Many years later, after we moved away and lost touch with Dennis, I voiced the character of  Wedge Antilles/Red 2 in Star Wars. I voiced the line.."Look at the size of that thing"! upon seeing the Death Star for the first time. I didn't know until the credits rolled that Dennis worked on the special effects in Star Wars. Our paths had crossed again. In a big way...

RAY BRADBURY

" Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my Grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched in some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there. It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away." Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451

Five Easy Pieces

My Step-Father, William Challee, in Five Easy Pieces with Jack Nicholson.

Jack Nicholson (Robert Eroica Dupea) tries in his own fashion to explain himself to his silently disapproving father William Challee (Nicholas Dupea), but never quite releases the pain of his own torment. “I'm sorry it didn't work out”.
