Alan: This is the quotation I tried to summarize.
Dear Whitney,
Meeting you at Ixtapa was the most luciferous occurence in my whole day!
A God-send.
What fun putting out probes with you!
Here is Wikipedia's entry on Bucky Fuller. https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller
If nothing else, read the section titled "Depression and Epiphany": https://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/ Buckminster_Fuller#Depression_ and_epiphany
And here is a copy of Bucky's "Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth," the brief but enlightening book that changed my life (while living in Cincinnati) after friend Paul Schulte introduced me to Bucky: http:// designsciencelab.com/ resources/OperatingManual_BF. pdf (Next time we meet, have me tell you the story about Paul bumping into Bucky in an airport.)
I obtained the link to "Operating Manual" from Wikipedia's article about the book itself: https://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Operating_Manual_for_ Spaceship_Earth
Some people find Bucky's writing style odd and cumbersome.
I find it charming and to the point.

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
