This is the best picture I've seen of a very special person. I believe this photo was taken by my good friend, Douglas Aronson, who had a true gift for choosing the right shot at the right moment. He remains my inspiration.

Kemal Baba had a rich deep voice and a warm, stress-free, smiley, comforting personality. He died in the fall of 1986.
