William Jason Mixter III

Thank you for our friendship all those years, Jason. You were the only person I knew who, in an uncanny parallel with my own life path, went to Harvard, then to Esalen, then to Carmel Valley, then to the Bay Area and Marin. You would go to each place a few years before me, but we would always overlap. (It got to the point where I asked you to please talk to me before you made your next decision about where to move, since it seemed that I would eventually find myself in the same place even...

I hope there is good music in Heaven.

Hi Daddy, Your grandson, Jackson Ryan Szot, is 2.5 years old now and he loves music despite hearing loss in his right ear, he never lets it slow him down. He dances too!

I only learned just of his passiing, soon after I found a picture Christmas card of his beautiful family taken on the beach while looking for some photos of my sister in the attick. I was younger by over ten...

I certainly have my moments on occasions, that Jason is gone from this plain, but is still a charged presence here.If you ever come this way to Monterey, let me know. I would love to see you. I am going to visit Rianna and her boyfriend Tyler in a month or two, who live in Sonoma, in Guernvelle.They...

Happy Birthday Jay. You would have been 69 today!
