I am completely in shock about this, and I can not imagine that DLW will not be at the other end of an email anymore.
I remember meeting DLW when he and Lee
Parks and others came down from Livermore to see one of the Star Wars
films, I forget which one. It might have been Empire Strikes Back.
He was instrumental in getting me back to Cambridge for the Symbolics
R&D open house all those years ago. He was a good friend and
listened to my confusion and distress about my current unemployment
although he did not know what to advise, except to suggest that I
move back to Cambridge.
I remember when I worked at Mass
Illusion, that he and Cheryl and their son came down to visit me in
Lenox. I think I had run into them by accident in one of the towns
in Western Mass. and we recognized each other even though we had not
seen each other in more than a decade.
Here is a link to a testimonial about
him at a company he helped to found.
