Cheech, I knew your uncle Victor Marin he worked @ the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites as the Limo Driver for the VIP's. I wud have breakfast with him in the cafeteria. I was 18 years old it was 1978. I wud eat grapefruit and struggle with cutting the sections out then eating them. One day he bought me two serrated spoons so I could eat my grapefuite without the hassle. He was an awesome gentleman. I didn't know he was your uncle at the time cause he didn't brag about being your uncle!

That's Great Cheech! When I covered your styory for your Art Collection I was really saddened by the display of your home. It made me think of you as gone from this earth and I didn't like that. You and Tommy know I have always supported you guys. I'm glad you took my letter to you about Tommy Seriously. I sent it to your Malibu Home back when Tommy was touring for his book signing. Viva Cheech and Chong. Bobby Capps
