In 1980 I gave one of my Rochester mugs to a juggler, Tim Batt and so (arrived my vocation for?) began my career mugging inspirational people. The mugs are always a thank you, for services rendered or kind acts but they are mainly given to people whose passion and belief have touched my heart and made me want to live a better life.
