    Thanks for the info, Bill. The old saying - "when they made him, they threw away the mold" - certainly fit him to
    a "T." I regret never getting up to see him. As biting and hilarious as many of his writings could be, it always seemed
    to me that there was a plea(?) for folks to head north to Seaside. His life and writing reminds me of Sheridan
    Anderson and Richard Brautigan. Helps to have a drink in hand when these guys enter your mind!
    RIP Galen (Oregon Salmon)
    Best,

    Galen Geller is still on my mind.

    Grew up around our shop and was a special person to many.

    When I retired I planned on going up to Seaside, Oregon for some Clam Linguine with him.

    Bill,
    Your post elicits many memories of Galen and his humor. BTY,
    one of the commenters to your original post was SHigSpeed.
    Folks might be interested in clicking on his user name and read
    some of his posts.
    Both of these people were taken from us way too early.
    RIP both Galen and SHig!
