Happy birthday Hank!! As the father of an autistic teenage son who’s a voracious reader with an eidetic memory I feel this news letter to my bones. I think that I’ve been drawn to you and Colin not just because of the fine art and music, but because I feel that there are so many similarities with your lives with my own and my wife’s that we could legitimately be friends with you all. Happy birthing day to you!!

Congrats to Hank on having such loving, supportive parents. As a youth, I was a self described cryptozoologist and often migrated into the realm of alien mysteries, so that alienologist project you and Hank collaborated on brought me nothing but nostalgic joy.

Speaking of joy….. I teach students on the autism spectrum. What I learn from these exceptional students and humans is immeasurable. Imagine a world where adversity is obsolete and the art of listening and acceptance is the norm….. I dare to dream on a daily basis. Big happy birthday to Hank!
