The `Speare Bearer: John Howard Griffin, Marin, CA, 06/04

Incredibly interesting guy I rode through Marin with as I was trying to figure out how to get to Napa. Told me he was a retired postal worker who’d lived in the area all his life, spents a few years taking care of his ailing mother, and is now just enjoying being able to ride his bike and take care of his feral ats. He was on his way to the vet to visit one when I met him. Told me about how few black people he’d known in his life, and how one of the best friends he’d ever made was a black guy from Brooklyn he wanted me to try to track down when I got back. Sweet, gentle, nice guy.
