Today I got this email from my old friend, Mike Sideman, in San Diego. (Mike is the retired lawyer I've mentioned in other threads talking about the time he and I did a Woody-like, Kerouacian cross-country trip in 1962; it included going to Mexico City by bus from El Paso/Juarez.

Art----I took two anthropology courses taught by Travis's brother, Munro, at Tulane.He was one of the most amazing intellects that I have ever encountered in my life. I was proud to get an A from him both semesters. Munro was fluent in Russian, Chinese, Spanish, and a bunch of other languages. He would often talk of his youth; he and Travis grew up on the Mexican border in Arizona and they were influenced greatly by the cultural interplay. Munro became an anthropologist and Travis a musician as a result of this experience.

I figured some might like to know read old recollection...
