"he would keep talking until he finished and walk away and I’d just stare"

LOL! A lot of the people seemed to think he expected them to follow him to his next talking station ;-)

It's fascinating stuff - I liked the story of how he paid for his car with un-cashed IBM checks. I'll keep watching for new uploads.

I think the checks story was Andy Heller. I think they wanted to do the video of John because he was so ill. He was barely back at work and everyone was afraid he was so fragile they would lose him soon. And they loved him with an intensity it’s hard to describe. Everyone. That video of him talking in the hallway with Chris - Chris died suddenly of an aneurism. Brilliant, kind man that I adored. Totally strange, as were so many of the researchers. It wasn’t the IBM button down environment. I’m the one that comes in to direct the two of them. In the full video, the man sitting in the hallway with John is my husband Paul. That was the most glorious building to work in. 300 acres with a stream going thru it. Of course, if you wanted to leave you were out in the boonies and there were no jobs around. Abe’s upload completes in 16 min.
