I’m an American journalist living in California. I’d like to contact Jason Cole. I’m an old friend of the late Max Pontifex whom Cole immortalized in his book, Max and me. I would be grateful for any information you might provide.

I’ll email him your request.
Hi Willy,
I’d be happy to hear from a friend of max as I was only a child when I met him. All that I know of him was based on tall tales told by my father at bedtime.
Contact me at paddlebarbados@gmail.com or phone 246 828 5920.
