- All,
-
- I met Bucky in the early 70's at The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.
- My Mother, who was attending there at the time, took me to see & perhaps meet a
- great scientist (no doubt trying to influence my career goals.) I was just a
- bit too young to understand what he was talking about, but he made an impact
- upon my mind that developed into a love for science. My Mom purchased a book of
- his, Utopia or Oblivion - The prospects for humanity, and took me over to meet
- him after the speech. He signed it for me "Best Wishes George, R. Buckminster
- Fuller."
-
- This book is now one of my most treasured possesions.
-
- I did enter the field of science and majored in Electrical Engineering. I am
- now running several computer systems (or are they are running me?) in DC.
-
- Does anyone have a "complete" listing of his books and/or a review of the best?
-
- Your input would be appreciated.
-
- Electronically,
-
