[NJARC] Elma Farnsworth

[David Sica]

I know that there is a huge controversy roiling about Farnsworth's actual
role in the invention of all-electronic television. I can agree with a
lot of the criticism, but I still admire his vision and ability to invent
extraordinary things. Whatever your position on the subject, I don't
think you can argue with the fact that he was, at the very least, "one of
us".

I was, and continue to be, thrilled to have received the following from
Mrs. Farnsworth a couple of years ago:
