Sam was the owner of Hyde Brothers Books, an incredible used book store in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I've been buying books from Sam since I was young, and probably half of the 2000+ books that I own came from Hyde Brothers. Sam was one of the kindest and most generous people I knew. When I was a young artist, struggling to make enough money to live, he often gave me books that he thought I would like. He also loved Cats, and always had one or two of them living in the store at all times. I?ve posted several photos of the cats here over the last few years. This is so sad. Here is a photograph that I made of Sam behind his counter 12 years ago. Notice the ball of fur curled up in front of him! http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?product=159 -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook
