Marty and I became pals mid sixties and for a while he was a Hobie team guy and rode a CC model. Really fun dude to hang out with. He went to Santa Ana College for a semester and rented a room from me in my Capistrano Beach house and we surfed together quite a bit. He kept telling me everybody in Orange County were "Birchers." I had no idea what that was but thought it was because the stringers in our boards were made out of birch or something like that. He was much more political than I was and I liked to think of him as the "Malibu Comi." Always appreciated his goofy-foot version of Dora style and the fact that he liked to kick back in his darkened room and listen to Donovan albums. Good guy, I hope he recovers soon.
