Paul Saffo, board member, The Millennium Project

One of my favorite memories of Ted is when I mentioned to him that I so wish I had met him way back then (ed with Olaf Helmer and Goldschmidt in 1967 at the release of their Kaiser Future Game) (I was in grade school at the time, and a neighbor who knew him had given me his book “The Future” a few years earlier so it wasn’t entirely improbable), and he replied, “oh, no you don’t – I was kind of a jerk back then!” To which I replied, “.. and your comment proves you weren’t!”
