Oh, he's for real alright. Probably not the one you are thinking of
though. It's funny about people like him. He's handicapped, has some
learning disabilities, yet he is gifted in ways that most of us will
never understand - nor appreciate. Like the most of us, he like's money,
but it's not that important to him except to fund his projects. His big
bang in life is to think up and make or do something nobody else ever
has or even thought of. He's a little weird that way. He gets a real
kick out of making little things run with a precision that we will never
acheive. I saw him once take a clock that was a basket case, identify
the missing parts, machine them from stock, reassemble the clock, and
install a bellows on it. He put it in a glass case, and a change in
temperature in the room of 3 degrees would wind the clock by way of the
bellows. It remained accurate within 30 seconds over the course of a
week. Most amazing thing I ever saw. Abslutely beautiful work, too.
