Lifetime Influences



We have lost two people today who helped influence the way I see the world. Barbara Billingsley (photo above) and Benoit Mandelbrot (photo below). If you recognize these names it is obvious that they influenced me in totally different ways.
Barbara Billingsley was "leave it to Beaver's" mom, June Cleaver, who was the prototype mom of the '50's. And Benoit Mandelbrot was the mathematician who introduced us to fractals and a whole new way of looking at the world. I am grateful for what they taught me and will miss them.
