Also known as Michael Sean Tibet Geddes, he was an authentic hippie kind of guy, tall, and nicely built, he walked around with his beloved basset hound Tulip. Michael was an old friend of Harry Allen Reid, and Harry Reid introduced him to me(Michael J Robinson). They were friends for years before. He was a sweet and kind guy, who struggled to stay alive and continue his writing poetry. I have one copy of a collection of his work. Michael and I went to Atlantic City with Tulip the dog, for his last vacation, and we stayed in a motel outside of town- it rained and rained, and we ended up at home in Philly, early and frustrated. It was my understanding that he may have been responsible for torching(arson) the Mastbaum Theatre, and was sent to jail in New Jersy for a period. His claim to fame was that he personally brought his activism to the New Jersey prison system and managed to get condom distribution into place before he was released.
