Terence “Kayo” Hallinan, the San Francisco District Attorney whose support was crucial to the medical marijuana movement, hired me to be his press secretary when he won a second term in 1999. After Kayo died in February, 2020, I wrote this long, disjointed memoir in weekly installments for the Anderson Valley Advertiser. —Fred Gardner
