I knew Spero briefly while I lived in Chicago. I moved to the Los Angeles area in the fall of 1977, and was not aware Spero had moved there as well. I, as an artist, found him to be spontaneously creative and a most enjoyable personality to be in the company of. I live in Iowa now, quite retired. Spero will be recalled to many fond memories.
I am,
J D Griggs
