I accidently bumped into him at the Borders Bookstore in San Rafael back in the late 90's. I was looking at the new hardbound SciFi books and he was looking at the Star Wars books on the top shelf. I just said "excuse me" and he said "no problem" and we returned to our tasks.
I used to see him (and occasionally his wife) eating breakfast at "greasy spoon" restaurant called Hilda's in San Anselmo (Marin County, CA).
Hilda's sadly closed for good in the past year or so.

Fortunately, that thing didn't get built in the Presidio of San Francisco. That was proposed a few years ago.
I think he wanted to have it on Treasure Island at one point also
And Chicago lake front on museum campus.
Why is that fortunate? Seems like a loss for San Francisco whose arts scene used to be thriving.
No no. San Francisco must be preserved in state as it existed in 1970 for all time, you see.
Fortunately for Los Angeles, unfortunately for San Francisco!
Very cool! Can’t help but think that the museum library is inspired by the main hall of the Stockholm City Library https://biblioteket.stockholm.se/about-the-stockholm-public-...
