And here he is atop the Space Needle in Seattle about 1982 or so. Amazingly enough, it was a clear, sunny day. It was made for some kind of big fair or something like that. I will admit the view in Seattle is better than the view in San Antonio. For one thing, San Antonio is flat.
Flat land is creepy.
At least Seattle has big mountains and good-sized hills to keep it from being so creepy. He got laid off because, well, young engineers right out of school are a lot cheaper than guys with a lot of experience. He'd had several back in the spring, and hadn't really gotten over them. He came home from work the previous day and then went to the hospital. He died in ICU early the next day.
