Remembering Shel Talmy
Like most folks, there are so many people that changed my life in some major way, sometimes by pure chance, where it is impossible to pinpoint what life would have been like if I never met them.
In the mid 1980s, I ran what was known as a Bulletin Board System (BBS), "Hollywood BBS", which was a computer connected to a modem running software called "Wildcat!" allowing folks to communicate and share files. This was pre-internet. Yes, I am a thousand years old. At the time, I had left doing TV shows and was freelancing as a director/editor, so my time was my own.
