We will focus on some of the specialness he shared: - Personal / relationship stories that teach us how to think, do research and play with others - Professional experience stories of getting inspiration from Marvin - Scientific stories that tell what Marvin accomplished - Historical stories that help us understand legacy and paths that occurred Ted mentions he "will give special time for people that really had relationships with him on the schedule”, from which I take it he is running the event, and if you have a special story you want to share, maybe you should contact him. - - - - - — Mike
