"It was such a pleasure to get to work on 'spiders', those memories keep me warm. Lynn, Richard, Elvina, everyone, I visit them in my dreams. And of course I'll never forget that wild and tender man that was Ahasiw, who brought us all together and kept us all laughing, screaming, steady, unsteady. I remember one night, late, I was sitting with Ahasiw, just the two of us, talking, for a while, and among other things he was talking about a fire. And how it grows slowly. And first a few people came and joined us, it was maybe an hour later and there were maybe 15 people in the room, and then another while went by and that room filled up and he made one of those big laughs like he did and he said 'See? Now there's a bonfire, just like that.' Those were good times."
