Christine Bott and Richard Kemp, 1978, London.

Kemp was one of the most prolific underground chemists in history, producing tens of millions of pink, blue, and purple microdots of pharmaceutical quality between 1969 and 1977. Chris died of cancer in 2007; Kemp is alive and well and living in Spain. God bless 'em both.
