[Mb-hair] Back from the HAIR gathering

[Sibley Smith]

Leo!

Thanks for sharing shots of your wonderful Be-In.  And he's right, Michael.  Without your hand in HAIR, undoubtedly I (and many others) would not have come to know and love it as I do.

Leo,
You are so nice. Thanks.
You ignore the wonderful pleasure I have received being with all of you
these many years. Everytime we are together I am more enriched.
Peace and Love,
Michael
