Stanford 0745a

I worked on a research project at Stanford in the late 1980's as a statistical analyst. Having come from a blue-collar family, I was initially quite awed by the fact that I would be working at an institution as prestigious as Stanford. The symbolism expressed by the architecture continues to impress, though it didn't take long to discover that the majority of those working for Stanford were ordinary people with ordinary problems and ordinary skills. (Also see notes with nearby pictures of Stanford.)
