July 1959 I was crossing the deck of the schooner Alice Wentworth in Camden Maine. I was going aboard the state patrol boat EXPLORER for our week long patrol of the islands in Penobscot Bay.
As I passed by, there was a young man sitting on a hatch playing the guitar, and making some of the most beautiful music I had ever heard. That was my first encounter with Gordon Bok. I didn't know such music existed.
We became close friends, and have remained so ever since.
