Hey, maybe you knew my ex-wife’s nephew, Tim O’Hare? He turned Steve down to be one of the first ten employees of Apple. . . kicking himself ever since. He did wind up running one of the first Apple centric stores in Berkeley in the late 70s and made a pile of money. Bought property and became, ahem, a “slumlord.” He’d be in his early sixties now, because his Dad, my ex’s brother, was twenty-seven years older than she was, and came home from WWII in time to name her Judy, after Judy Garland, in January of 1946! I think Tim was born in 54. . . but he was a member of the Home Brew Computer Club and knew Woz and Steve. . . he bought one of Woz’s Apple 1s at the meeting. . . Before they were marketing it.

Didn't know him. But I have bought parts at a computer store in Berkeley in that time period, located not far from the entrance to the UC campus entrance. Maybe it was his store. I was a member of the San Francisco Apple Core club.
