“In 1967, right after high school, my brother Steve and I worked for a month as waiters in D.C., spending our days off in the National Gallery and wandering the Mall. In 1968, as I started flirting with theatre, Steve insisted I come see Bucky lecture at the College of Creative Studies at UCSB. Amidst assassination, war and overarching turmoil, Bucky’s curious voice carved a path to the future. We are now catching up with his perception that war is obsolete, his playful invitation to rethink everything we know, and his insistence on action based on individual integrities and whole system synergies.”
