I am so sad to hear about Kent. We hung out together in the early 70s in Village Green. He once was talking with my parents about a mola they had obtained in Panama and they had no idea what to do with it. Kent took it home and returned it to them beautifully framed by him. It was always a conversation piece for my parent´s home and I know have it in mine. He was such a gentle soul and I send my sincere condolences to his family.
