   Yes, I believe we met at the Gallery several years ago. I was born in Santa   
   Fe, and my step-grandfather (the only grandfather I knew, actually) was Jozef   
   Bakos, one of the Cinco    
   Pintores of Santa Fe. I believe you and I met at the gallery when it opened a   
   retrospective of Bakos' work and I happened to be visiting Santa Fe.   
   ============   
   All, I'm a journalist writing with The State Hornet — student run news site   
   at Sacramento State Uni (where Bill worked for 41 years as mentioned). I'd   
   heard that he knew FZ when they were kids, but my source wasn't sure of the   
   story he related when    
   Frank died.   
      
   Bill recently passed and I'm writing up a story about his life and affect on   
   the community. To stumble across this GEM of a thread has made my day. I'm so   
   grateful for the nerds (I'm one, this is not an insult) that archive anecdotes   
   like this and keep    
   stories like this alive. Also amazing to be able to read Bill's words   
   confirming things like this even after he died.   
      
   Thank you all. Be well.
