In the early eighties, in response to the Republican control of government, I decided to get involved with the computer industry in order to fund environmental action. I am now interested in returning to work with watershed issues, in a climate of opinion, and a funding community, which is more favorable and more sophisticated. Having just moved to Seattle, I am impressed with its consciousness of quality of life issues, nascent regional planning awareness, technical sophistication, and youthful philanthropy. We should be able to create here models for urban and rural land-use mangement that will break new ground in the American environmental scene. I'm up for it.
