James Quigley, the Rector from St. George’s Episcopal Church in New Orleans, sent this kind letter and hammered keychain to Bash after meeting him during filming. Reproduced here with permission.
Basheer,
With everything that you all do you may not remember going into our basement and commenting on your grandfather’s anvil after seeing mine.
Every anvil that I have ever struck with a hammer virtually makes the same sound– at least good ones! I think the same is true for humanity, despite where we are from on this globe– essentially we are the same– we hurt, love and laugh the same… So why all the conflict– same greed? I dunno.
Regardless, please accept the keychain I hammered out on an anvil that undoubtedly has the same ping, or ring, as did your grandfather’s…
Blessings on your life…
Jim
