Lynn and her husband were divorced but after that divorce, her husband, Bill bought the house across the street and was part of our commune. His kids would sometimes walk across the street to sleep in his house.

I posted about Bill a few months ago. He was one of the original researchers/developers on artificial intelligence (A.I.) from 1970 to 1995 as verified by Wikipedia.

Who knows if people will be praising or cursing his name, 20 years from now.
