He lived with Ben and me for a short time and returned to help out by cooking and washing diapers after my daughter was born. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any photos of his work. In his painting he used geometric shapes and brilliant color reminiscent of African art. He is missed by all those he touched. Hayward was beloved by all who knew him.

The book came into my life because I had two very young brothers and children's book illustrations had always been a passion. I loved this book and as I started college in Oakland, became aware of the rich design community in the area. Mr. Miho's remarks were wonderful to read and he, and his work with Champion Papers were an inspiration to a young graphic designer. Thank you, I'm thrilled to have found this site.

I still have samples from his Champion Papers series and will not part with them. For more information on Miho, a quick search online will introduce you to this iconic designer who's place in graphic design history is firmly established and fondly remembered.

I was also a friend of your brother Piet's in the early 80's in New York. I was very happy to find Hal's work on the web.

He was extremely important in my career -- he got me my first job, and then my third job -- and I know he was equally generous with many other guys and gals. He was a visionary in many ways, and beloved by a multitude.

I would like to get in touch with him if he is still alive. I think your website is great. I would like to post an article on Ben, but had a problem with the stupid code at the bottom of the page. I gave up on it. He died almost 3 years ago, was a Bolles Gallery artist, and painted figurative oils, did engravings, and wrote poetry. Is Bill Morehouse alive?
