... at least, as well as you can know the owner of the company where you work when he makes casual drop-bys to your desk and group. He never struck me as a hard-core RW guy but he WAS very involved in the production and repair/warranty stuff for the company right on the cusp of the dot com era. He used to walk around with a dmm (digital multimeter) and eyeglass pouch on his belt eating cashews. The only thing I knew of him giving money to was the Chicago Lyric Opera, they even had a rehearsal and set construction space on one floor of the building on North Orleans St.
