I remember meeting Oona when she was about the age in the photo, and I'm sure it was in Palo Alto. My memory of that visit is that John and Oona were living in a house they shared with two other adults and one or more children. I was living in Vermont at the time.

The time of your visit would have been just before I met John, then....so I don't think I ever met you, but I remember John telling me his good memories about your friendship!

On that visit I attended the Computer Game Developers Conference with my friend Bill Hopkins, the Canadian guy who had first introduced me to John in 1989. I remember that Bill and I drove to a house one evening, not the house in Palo Alto but a house somewhere near San Francisco. I remember that it had a somewhat long driveway and lots of trees around it. We spent the evening with John and one or two other people, one of whom was possibly you, at least Bill thinks so. We all had a great time laughing and drumming. We sat in a circle on the floor. I remember there was a small xylophone that we passed around as well. It's a fond memory of my last visit with John, although the details are a bit blurred by the years. less

That is a great memory....I know John always loved starting the music play at parties....whether drums, flutes, didgeridoo, marimbas....
