   Yeah…. and a great institution enshrining them eponymously in symbolic immortality.

   The Packard Estate maintains this organic time capsule. Dave’s study looks out over Silicon Valley, as you can see below with San Jose in the distance.

   Everything in it is exactly as he left it when he passed in 1996…. the books he was reading and appointments about the place.
   

   This perspective may be a bit unique, as it comes from standing on top of the tower of the entry gates. =)

    Ah, the days of my youth. My house as a kid in Cupertino was just down the street from Steve Jobs in Los Altos and we had an apricot orchard just like this. I have found memories of rolling in the mustard grass with the trees in bloom, looking up to the blue sky and looking for shapes in the clouds.

    Its interesting that we shared a lot of the same experiences, yet have some from such different backgrounds. While I was HP Labs, Dave use to come by and talk with me about my special project, which we all had to have. My old office is now Tesla’s corporate headquarters, where I am sure you roam around. The world is very small. And, now….the rockets.

    This photo recalls some amazing memories of Silicon Valley that only a few of use knew. Thats for capturing an emotion for me on film.
