EXPLORING TEXAS CONNECTIONS!

Colonel James FANNIN is known for commanding TEXAS revolutionary forces in a fight for independence from Mexico.

I plan to take some time to visit historic sites after my Silicon Heartland 'goings on' in Austin.

And a bit more family history!


My father-in-law Kenny Delmar starred in the Broadway musical, TEXAS L'il Darlin.

You can here his voice and the tune below.

He was in the original cast, and the show played for about a year, 1949-50.

He also was a leading radio actor back in the day!

NOTEWORTHY


AI guru Kai-Fu Lee is creating a GenAI

model based on all his talks, books and notes, which might someday be able to deliver his speeches on the future of AI.

Heard last week at the Economic Club of New York.
