Hello to DAVE DUTTON, bookseller and long time friend

Dave Dutton, the bookseller, who had a very dusty, literary, independent bookstore called Dutton's books in Los Angeles' on Laurel Canyon, is out of the local book business. For a man who loves the arts, it's not easy to be retired at all and I know Dave is indulging his interests in art, literature, and so much else. Dave has been a friend of mine for years, his shop a frequent stop, and when he found out we were writing a memoir he was so supportive. Dave always said that when we get our memoir published he'd throw us a book signing. It's been a couple years since his shop closed and I think of him often. Hello Dave!
