This is very late in coming, I realize, but I thought I would mention a small way in which Mr. Gorman influenced my life - although I never actually met him. I had just moved to Denver and was having an extremely difficult time getting by, working a low-paying night job, very socially isolated, and struggling with depression during one of the worst winters I've ever seen in Colorado. On top of it all, I hadn't been able to find any herb for a couple of months. I was lamenting this fact to one of the guys on the night crew and it turned out he was a recipient of Mr. Gorman's medicine, and gave me a sample.

I sat out on my porch after work in the frosty morning and smoked it (possibly the finest herb I have ever had), watching the sun rise, and letting my worries fade away. I felt good. That moment stands out in my mind. It was so overwhelmingly bright and clear and cold and peaceful.

Thanks for that beautiful morning, Gov.
