Murray Stenson sits in a coffee shop Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012, in Seattle. The bartender credited with reviving the classic cocktail scene in the Northwest has endeared himself to legions of drinkers and bartenders with his legendary memory, his attentiveness to customers and always knowing what they want to drink before they do. So when Stenson needed help to pay for heart surgery, it was surprising to no one but him how swift the response was. Fundraising events were quickly booked at venues in Seattle and Portland, and as far away as Singapore and Australia. Fellow bartenders put out tip jars. Money poured in from cocktail regulars and others who only knew Stenson by name or by the decades-old cocktail he brought back to life, "The Last Word." (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
