As posted in the past, I met him and talked with him several times when he lived in Ft Lauderdale. It's a small city and I would see him around town quite often.
If you got past the initial shock of "weirdness" or as some people called it "Chris-ness", he was/is a very intelligent person. Of course, there were the times when he would go out in public while shrooming and you couldn't figure out what planet he was from.
