I've worked with Black Panthers and Chicanos, with American Indians
and East Indians. I'm used to dealing with all kinds of people.
Everyone else at Network Technologies knows more about computers and
business than I do, but I'm the catalyst that makes things work.
Dealing with people and getting things done are carryovers from my
past. They are generic skills that transfer as easily to stamping out
smallpox as to starting a company. [San Francisco Chronicle, 24 August
1986]
