Here is an eclectic set of links that I like to visit from time to time:
- Fulcrum Microsystems, Inc., the computer chip company that Andrew, my son, co-founded while at Caltech and where he now works as vice president of research and development (I think that means he's the chief engineer): http://www.fulcrummicro.com/
- In case you are a real techie-nerd, here's a bit more from Andrew: http://www.hotchips.org/archives/hc14/3_Tue/21_lines.pdf
- River King Catarafts, which specializes in float boats for serious anglers. This is one of the companies that Ray Pelland, my husband, founded, and the only one he manages still: http://www.cataraft.com/
- An old friend from the University of Minnesota and one of the most insightful authors you will ever read: http://www.davidlebedoff.com/
- An old friend from my days living in Manhatten: http://www.californianeutrals.org/judith-rubenstein
- We are very lucky to know Rory Dafoe and his significant other, Rhonda Schultz, both of whom have incredible musical talents. Add to that, Rory makes amazing musical instruments. I commissioned the first travel banjo he ever made, as a secret birthday gift for Ray, and worried endlessly that Ray wouldn't like it. In the end, it was the only instrument Ray played for months after he received it: http://www.seatoskyinstruments.com/ABOUTME/index.htm
- We are very fortunate to know Marty Lapore (a/k/a Dr. Slide) and Phyllis Ann Lee, two more extremely talented musicians and composers. Marty is known far and wide for his viruoso dobro playing. In addition to her musical talents, Phyllis has her own fashion line: http://www.theslidefactor.com/
