Spirit of the Kaw

River tour guide and local character lives his love for the river

Certain people are like Tom Farris, and they are the most interesting people on earth. My cousin Max, for instance. "Mad Max" is what the family used to call him. Max talks fast, and he never stays on topic. And he is supremely fascinated by things. One of his chief delights in life is to spout off random and dubious facts that he found God-knows-where, but which he insists are true. He is not a liar. He is a theorist.
