Fredkin talks about many of the interesting events from his life in a lecture available here: http://stanford-online.stanford.edu/courses/ee380/050126-ee380-100.asx described here: http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/050126.html

The article should also include a section on his personal life. My Substack https://paulabrahams.substack.com/p/37b89728-d54d-4a6a-a8c9-e1205f300650 might be a starting contribution. I know he bought an island in the Caribbean, but I have no details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Abrahams ( talk • contribs) 20:23, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
