Hello:

A friend of a friend contacted me to let me know that Mr. Ben-Eli will (I'm told) be speaking at 3:00 PM May 2 at the Tubac (Arizona) Community Center. I hope that I am stating the details correctly. I cannot find any links or information about this online by which to check my information.

I was going to pass along this event information to a Sustainable Tucson discussion forum, in case others wanted to attend when I realized that I had no link that I could send along.

I am not currently in a position to make financial contributions but would like to know if their are any projects in the Philadelphia area that I could donate my time to.

Are Fuller's patents owned by his estate? Is permission needed to utilise his designs or are they in the public domain since his death?
