Has he ever reached out to you? His identity isn't that hard to work out - though he's no longer an engineer.

I think it's good to leave him alone, that's what wants.

We have never spoken. He came to my hometown once, for an event, but I could not attend as I was out of town that weekend.

Part of me would love to talk to him someday, and part of me would prefer that we don't. I am incredibly thankful that he braved the danger to give us this; in some ways I do feel like this was us talking.

It's complicated.

Thank you for your sensitive curatorial work, Steve.
