Although I barely knew him personally there are at least two monumental moments which stand out in my life recently which involve Ashley.
First is the Krewe De Vieux parade of 2006. There he was on the "Buy us back Chirac" float in all his glory.
Second, he was a subject in the first "official" production I did for Humid Beings.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Ashley Morris and his contribution to this city's Cast of Colorful Characters or of his devotion to The Saints:
