Pynchon Fellow?

[Joseph Tracy]

I know Julie Packard because my sister and her were best friends in  
grade school. We grew up in Los Altos when it was turning from hills  
filled with apricot orchards to  a wealthy suburb and the heart of  
Silicon Valley. Julie had a lot of privileges as a Packard but she  
was  down to earth and very hard working. She used her influence to  
lead the creation of a wonderful Aquarium; she is remarkably modest  
about her role in the project. My sister and I met with her several  
years ago in Monterey and  I was impressed with the lack of executive  
ego and the passion for the teaching/research role of the Aquarium.
