He's maintained a 2001 website for years, had an ongoing communication with Arthur C. Clarke, contributed artifacts and models for a museum exhibit, commissioned re-creations of the original costumes, and on and on. So I'd really love to see him get a shot at those chairs. Incidentally, his website is http://www.2001exhibit.org, and his email is elusive94401@yahoo.com. If it worked out, it would probably make his year. Thanks, -Randy

You can, however, get the 2001 Jensen flatware from the MOMA store. Hey, BTW- Your pad in "PAD" was my personal fave- I've got a collection of Tackett eggheads too

I do live in CT and if anyone needs me to pick this up for them let me know. Our state is so small it can't be more than an hour in any direction to get it. You can send me the address I'd like to check out the antiques anyway. eagleson@att.net
