We watched the California Railway Museum and golden spike episodes in Sacramento tonight and I found myself crying. He'll was really an amazing part of California's gold. He loved life and people and brought his love of history and strangeness, like the avocado eating dog, into our homes for so many years. He was like an old friend! I am so happy he got to hold not one but two golden spikes.

My mom &I made thursday nights our "California Gold" night once we discovered it. It was so neat to learn things a out our state history that we never knew &couldn't in a book, as well as learn to value the unexpected side trips and surprises that result.

THIS WAS A GREAT MAN. TAUGHT ME MORE ABOUT CALIFORNIA THEN ANY SCHOOLING OR BOOK HAD/ I AM AM A NATIVE CALIFORNIAN OF WHITE/NATIVE ANCESTRY AND HAVE MORE APPRECIATION FOR THIS STATE BECAUSE OF HUELL. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A HUELL HOWSER DAY CELEBRATED IN CALIFORNIA EVERY YEAR. I am from San Jose originally.

WE MISS YOU HUELL! And your great shows!
