A salute to Wm. T. Wiley and Steve Kaltenback...

In the mid 1970's, when most every artist in the Bay Area had a VHS recorder in their studio, or morphed onto their skull, Steve Kaltenback, (Sacto.) received an envelope in the mail from W.T. Wiley. The envelope contained some dust, and a note:

"Dear Steve: I'm sending you some dust from the floor of my studio...send me some from your studio."

William T. Wiley.

A few weeks later, Wiley received an envelope with the following note inside:

"Dear William T. Wiley: Thank you for the dust. I was so hungry, I ate it."

Steve Kaltenback
