I will always remember the first time I ever met JR - he had shaved his head for the occasion. Then, the next year, I knocked on his door and, in a fit of drunken friendly rage, threw a mint SS Hanger into the darkness of his room, and collected my $200 the next day. Then, he graciously had me stay in his home overnight in 2001, when I was driving across the country to make California my new home. He's also come out to San Diego a couple times, and we've enjoyed dinner together. Needless to say, he's one of my favorite people in our hobby.
