The man pictured in this early-70s photo was a well known hippie mover-and-shaker in the Fan District in the late-60s/early-70s. After leaving the Fan he went on to a subculture life of real and imaginary adventures. In 2002 a book was published that detailed some of his best drug-smuggling stories, a high-wire lifestyle that led up to a prison term for him.
Now about 60-years-old, he blogs about his ongoing effort to turn the adventure book into a Hollywood feature motion picture. The photo is from his blog. Name him.
