Today I heard of the passing of my great friend Timothy Green Beckley. Tim and I worked together for many years in the late 70's when he formed Global Communications. While there, I wrote about Rock and Roll and was his photographer. I look back at our many great times together interviewing celebrities and brainstorming ideas for photos, music and UFO articles. My condolences to his family. Rest in Peace my friend.
