I remember when my dad took us to see some new movie at the Old Mill called "Star Wars". My dad was a model maker (ships, trains, plnes, tanks, figurines, etc) and was really excited about the special effects. They were different in this movie in that they were more realistic - "dirty", he said, while we were waiting in the line to get tickets.
After that, I was hooked on Star Wars, and then pretty much any film with spaceship models before and after. And Silent Running was my favorite movie of all time for awhile (I think I'd seen it around 26 times). I had all kinds of models and books about spaceship modeling. I think that's how I ended up as an Industrial Design major at SJSU. If I had any talent or patience, I probably would have pursued it. But I don't, so I just appreciate it and the Trumbull's contributions...
