Seiko was the consummate James Dean fan. He was part of the reason she wanted to come to America. She had a James Dean poster hanging on the bottom of the huge air filter in her studio downstairs, and starting when Alden was a wee thing, it became habit to look up at the poster and say hi to James Dean while walking by. It looks like some of his practiced cool might have rubbed off.

Seiko would be so proud.
