When I say Mar Harba to Si Allen, it's because he taught me that, it's Arabic, it means how's it going or how are you. And when I say that it is because it reminds me of him letting me and a lady friend stay at his place when I was going cross country, also when he came to Kingsburg for his Skeet Shooting, Don't **** him off he's a great shot! I used it once when I was in New Orleans, I had a friend who lived in Algiers Parish, he used to live here in Fresno, for those who are not familar with N.O. lets put it this way...it's not the greatest area. Well I wanted to go to the store and get some beer. This area is a majority of Black people, but the store owners weren't. So when I walk in, they see I'm different, but where is this guy from, so out of Bull Shift I say Mar Harba, they smile and answer, but I don't understand what they are saying, so now they know I am not Arabic, so they ask "who taught you that, where u from?" So when I said I was from CA and an Arabic Sign Painter taught me that, They smiled with a big ok. That is only one memory of this great guy...Mr Si Allen, In San Diego, CA we did a whole parking lot lettering for Nordstroms. Here is a picture of one of Lettervilles most wanted, he requested "no PICTURES" but they got him anyway...
Happy Birthday SI!!
