Iowa Blackie Caught the Westbound




RICHARD "IOWA BLACKIE" GAGE
CAUGHT THE WESTBOUND
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH, 2011
AT THE AGE OF 62.





I had just received a letter from him a few months ago, and a few before that I was chatting with him over dinner here in Iowa City. It's so strange that someone can be gone so quickly, but that's how he lived his life.

Live Free.
RIP.

  2. Yup, the oldest you can spot, actually. That's the year he started marking walls and cars.
