Today I had the distinct pleasure of meeting a modern master. Mr. David Hayes gave a lecture at the Red House in Syracuse. Debe urged me to take a couple hours out of my day. Get one last ride on the Harley and go see Mr. Hayes.
I am glad I did. Mr. Hayes gave a very unpretentious, down to earth talk and slide show to an audience of maybe 20-30 people. The talk was relaxed and informal and I was able to ask a number of questions. At the end I was able to shake his hand and have a few words with him. I left very inspired.
My only regret was that I didn't bring my camera to get a photo with him.
