I saw some of these below in 16, I remember he said he had a Nizo -
so it might have been that but he ditched the recorder ?

Pretty much my introduction to Stan & his work was at some lectures -
6 I think - he did at MIT, spring 1973; The Riddle of Lumen, Wold
Shadow etc period.

Were you there at that time ? (I must have asked you this before !)
