AP: I ran across this blog that my cousin, Avery, sent to me a while back in 2014 which I don’t think I read at the time. In any case, I thought I would post it here in case it might be of interest. I am not sure who Bill Benzon is although it looks like he has a degree in Philosophy from John Hopkins University. It also sounds like he was around during the earlier days of PCT.

RM: Yes, I met Bill Benzon a couple of times; once at the first Cybernetics meeting I went to in Chicago probably back in 1980 or 1981. Very sweet blog post in memory of your Dad.Â
