While randomly surfing, I came upon an article about your dad passing, Ben. That was a great tribute you wrote. As a little kid I was clueless about his life story. I just remember the things a kid would remember--such as going to birthday parties in your back yard with your dad playing his accordion (we lived across the street from you guys). One of my best memories that I still tell was one Halloween night...your dad had set you up with a laser up in that upstairs room. Nobody had ever seen one before and you lit up the neighborhood trick or treaters with that mysterious red light lol.
Great to learn his background as it sounds like he left his mark in this world.

In the spring of 1962 I purchased a brand new, high horsepower fire engine red Corvette. One day at his request we drove top down from one end of Malibu Canyon to the other at break-neck speed. Not a single word was uttered during the entire ride. Totally silent except when I let him out of the car in front of the HRL lobby he said, “that wasfun let’s do it again.....sometime”. We never did.

Bob was a consultant to the Hughes Research Laboratories for many years and I remember traveling down the hill in his old VW bus for lunches in Malibu. He was a delightful fellow and a brilliant scientist.
