Jon, this brings back memories of working with summer students and Explorer Scout high schools students (like yourself) during my years at Bell Labs in MH. I have to credit Carl Christensen for bringing me in to work with him in helping making computers and training resources available to Explorer Scouts on Monday evenings shortly after I started at Bell Labs in 1969. I enjoyed this time in helping and motivating the students as well as taking them on hiking and spelunking trips in NY. I had one summer student work for me on the LSX projects. He was so brilliant that I had a challenge to keep him busy with the tasks I gave him because he finished them so quickly. One of the motivations for doing LSX was actually providing a platform for the music synthesizer that Hal Alles was building. If I can remember any other names for you I will let you know, but this was more than 45 years ago ... Heinz
