Mr. Speedo aka Leith Longcor

One of the first videos by Randy Magnus with a camera borrowed from
Brenda Kleinfelder in 1984, shows a Mr. Speedo looking for Mr. Bingle,
as the downtown of Modesto, CA is being demolished behind him for re-development.
A classic, edited a year later at the ROP Video Studio in Mendocinco, CA.

The last time I saw artist Keith Longcor in his house, explaining a new painting to me.
I went by a few years later to find both him and his house were gone.

John Collier Jr.

John Collier Jr was one of my teachers at SFAI. John always had interesting stories about the FSA days. Sometimes I would sit in his class when I wasn't even enrolled, just to hear his insight.
