I met Smiles and Sally in Benolum Goa in 1984. Smiles was the epitomy of cool. To a young 20 something small town Canadian lad Smiles was a fascinating Dude. I haven't thought of Smiles in years, but for whatever strange reason, he just recently popped into my mind. After a small dive I found out about your book (which I intend to read), and the tragic passing of Smiles. I just wanted to say that this touched a lot of people, myself included. Rest well and Boom Shanka.

Thank you Andy, for these words and for bringing this legendary story to a wider audience and a new generation of psychnauts. Have read In Search of Smiles , incredible story and an incredible " man for one man" as we say in Ireland. Thoughts are with Smiles loved ones , "Ar Dheis Dē go Raibh a anam" may his soul be at God's right hand

Those we love never really leave us if we hold their Smiles in our hearts.

Thank you Andy. So sorry about the loss of your friend, and a friend to us all. I'm just finishing IN SEARCH OF SMILES now -- excellent as always. Keep up the great work!

Go in peace,
