francisanAbove are the only photos I have found, but for the three photos on his cell-phone that are of the tan cat again, a woman, and Errol Flynn. This is Mr. H’s surrogate family. How like Saint Francis.

H tried to convert me once. He took me to Ken Kesey’s cousin’s house where Christians and indigents hung out. H had stayed here for several weeks. A week before he died, I begged him to get cable so he could get on the internet – and look at my religious work. He was not interested. Did we know each other in a past life?

H’s old girlfriend told me H was bitter about having very weak family ties. I believe he chose this for the spiritual work he was to do in this life. My family threw me away, and thus, their amazing family history that I enjoined Hollis to.

If anyone recognizes the women and children, let me know.
