    It makes my heart glad to see this. As a 15 year old kid, I took his week long class in tool making. At time a neighbor who also knew Alex would drive me and his grandson to school every morning. Sometimes we would stop off at the Weygers house for coffee. He was always friendly towards us kids and would break out his blueprints of the flying machines he had invented. I still have my notebook I kept when I took his course and an autographed copy of his tool making book. He was an amazing person and great influence on young me.

    Tesla did it 1st, seems nobody's able to give him credit

    This art dealer may have been somewhat obsessed, but the art and other artifacts like drawings from Mr. Weygers are pretty wonderful so I can see why he picked up this ball and ran with it.
  • I guess that no one else noticed that Randy looks almost EXACTLY like Alexander. Hello!
  • @jaridkeen123
    You are truly great when you die a no body and after death the world learned you were great
  • @caseyreeves710
    Rest In Peace Randy..Thank you for your extensive efforts over the years. One day maybe Alexander Weygers will get the recognition he so rightfully deserves.
  • @dejaliloquy
    so heartfelt! Weygers was a true legend, so awesome someone Randy could see him through his artwork. Beautiful story

    Whatever it really was that made you bite on that original email, you might only ever know but follow that gut if you recognize it again. Great story, well shared by you and the tone of the story is fantastic, I only wish it was much longer. I imagine in the few short years you had with Randy, so much more was learned than what made it out of the editing room and with his passing, the story doesn't stop there. Now, in a way much as Randy is part of this fascinating man's story, you too are now a part of both of theirs. A follow up perhaps 5 or 10 years from when when Randy left his own legacy behind, you'll take us on another journey, one which hopefully shows the spirit you three share continuing this on... Captivating!

    Something got in my eyes at the end, stupid winter pollen

    That art is beautiful, I really like the one where the woman is on her back as if she is dead upon the rocks and man seems to be crying with great sorrow. I could feel his pain.
  • @jaytee2716
    That’s sad he’s gone thank you for making a video about him so all can share in his life’s journey and passion.
  • @garyjones101
    Thanks so much for this piece Ashlee. It's always interesting to see someone who finds an interest and follows it as far as it can take him/her. Well done!
  • @rea8585
    So amazing to see people who have a mission in life, who love what they do and are committed to it 100%. At least with this video, we all learned the name of Alexander Weygers (as well as Randy Hunter).
  • @jameskerr3257
    This was a surprisingly fascinating story and such a high-quality documentary. This should win some kind of award, so well done, and so interesting.
  • @lenawagner6405
