Julie Martin Oral History Transcript Block 288 (Q20168)

Martin: No, no. An administrator. Francis [A.] Mason who came from USIA in Washington. Then he went to Steuben Glass [Works] and was working for [Arthur A.] Houghton [Jr.]. He was an arts administrator. But he just wasnt quite rigorous enough for what Billy had in mind. I think that Billys interest was in collaborating with artists. He really wasnt interested in going back to Bell Labs.
