One of the last pics Eric did for me would be one of my favorites. Was watching Between The Lions, and talked about the idea of Beau and Dakota re enacting the What’s Cooking With Theo and Cleo segments. Next day, he would surprise me, and I even showed to a few local friends of mine complete with the script posted here.
