I finally got to go to a Mixed Taste talk at Belmar. The topics were Outsider Art and the Large Hadron Collider.

Yeah, it was Kevin Stentson. Google told me that he taught PHYS1110 last semester. I would love to have him as a teacher, he was hilarious.

This is so funny...my daughter and I were just talking about my Great Uncle Lee Steen and decided to google him. I was very little when I met Uncle Toole and Uncle Speck or Lee and Dee Steen (twins). They both lived with my Grandmother Diorah in the same house that they were born in Roundup MT. It truely was a bunch of shacks. One of them had a fox named Oakie and the other had a crow named Jim that sat on his sholder all the time. They were very excentric according to the stories the family tells. Most of the family has passed away now. I do remember all the stick figures, I thought they were so cool. Years later I found out many of those items were on display at a collage and went on tour. I have no idea where they are now. I live in Alaska and haven't been back there for many years. It would be great to get in touch with the professor you spoke with.
