A very curious guy. Massively inventive. Also I gather massively mad. Do the two often go together? Must you be a bit mad to think about things no one else does or can? I don't know. I'm not a genius or an inventor and not suffering as I think he did. I cannot really relate to him. But I am in awe of him.
The first time anyone ever told me about Tesla? My first husband was an electrician. That was in 1958. He told me that Tesla was the REAL genius not Edison. At the time it had no meaning for me. It does now. Odd what we remember.
