What are the U2 "R.A." files? This is where Collin's passion for U2 collided with his day job at an elementary school, where he spent a year working with a fourth grade student with Autism. This student (initials "R.A.") happened to have an interest in classic rock and Collin saw it as an opportunity to see if he could get "R.A." interested in his favorite band. He did. During their breaks together, Collin and "R.A' would work on some drawings. Collin helped draw Bono, usually in Fly mode. "R.A." drew the rest.
