MINDSTORM private collection of work is being compiled for my daughter, my family, and a few special friends. This is a story of a passion for life and exploring engineering, family, history, working horses, playing polo, flying helicopters, and studying the philosophy of Ayn Rand and Fredrick Nietzsche, and the mathematics of Einstein and Feynman, and enjoying the politics of capitalistic right in opposition to the socialistic left, classical music and opera, poetry, computers and companies, having mystical experiences and late nights and loving all that life has to offer. Contained within are the some of the major events and people that have influenced me. Many family members and close friends have passed away, and their stories are too wonderful not to relate in this work. There are excerpts of speeches, articles, poems and essays most written by me, and a couple about me. Heroes and villains, friends and foes, who are an important part of this story, are identified.
