Just one of a few of my favorite things. As a tribute to Fred. Fred Barton helped us truly devoted fans make our mechanical friend from my favorite TV Series "Lost in Space", and an actual real-to-life Cybernetic Servo Mechanistic Automaton.

To all who have experienced this tragic news regarding my friend Fred Barton "The Robot Man", you have my heartfelt Condolences. Fred constructed my life-sized bubble headset for my homebrew the Lost in Space model b9 robot I constructed back around 1987. He was the only one I knew who could produce exactly what I required at that time. Unfortunately, my robot was lost to me by an unfortunate circumstance. Words can not fully do justice enough to express what I am feeling now, I greatly share your pain of loss. May God bless Fred, & all who loved him. He will remain in my heart & thoughts for the rest of my life. I took my replica of our beloved cybernetic hero to the "College of the Mainland" in West Texas City, Texas. They thought that I had a man in it. I had to remove the headset, & collar that Fred had manufactured for me to prove that it was all machine, not human. My robot had a 186-thousand-word vocabulary, and various Speach controlled hardware interfaces. Now Continental "Whos Who" is honoring me this year 2023 for my contributions to science, and technology. I can never thank Fred enough for providing me with his larger-than-life artisticism. May he rest in peace. He was one of the most intelligent & gifted individuals I have ever known. I give you my prayers, & my love for always. May God bless you forever.
