My condolences to your family. Your father was a very special man. I worked with him on his projects, the Visualizer, History House, etc. from 1999 until just last year when I took a full time position. I did typing and organization for him. He was such an interesting, intelligent person to know. I feel lucky that I was able to see him at Trader Joe's I believe on February 9th even just to say hello. I am so sorry for your loss.
