Some of you might like this. I know his daughter via my local Psychedelic Society, although never knew her family history until she shared this out on Facebook. It's a fascinating story.

His daughter (who speaks in the doc) is lovely and is involved in various good things. I always thought there was something 'different' about her from other people her age I know, but it really makes sense after watching that. Will be interesting to talk to her about it at the next meet-up.
