I too loved all his photo essays and was captivated by his life, so I
bought all the best books of his pictures and Jim Hugh's detailed biography.

Also, I was fortunate enough to be Gene Smith's "gofer" during his visit to
UWM to receive an honorary degree in 1976.

At one point I was alone with him backstage just before he went out to give
his big talk, and we just stood together in silence (he had been
pummeled with questions and requests for two days, so I felt he needed the
quiet time).
