I do not look like this

For those of you wise/foolish enough to search in, say, Google for me and happen across an article about Silicon Valley College, this picture is NOT ME! It’s another Bill Lazar who lives in Sunnyvale. I have never lived in Sunnyvale, I do not have a receeding hairline (at least not yet), and I am not completely, or even largely, gray.

Nor am I the (now deceased) former president of the Luxor Cab Company of San Francisco.

Nor am I associated with the Lazar Foundation of Portland, OR, although its mission is one I would favor: to support environmental groups and research in the Pacific Northwest. In 1999 (latest year available), the foundation made 91 grants totalling $835,005. The Lazar Foundation was founded in 1959. Cool!

I am, however, the co-author of CA-Visual Objects Developer’s Guide with Gary Stark and Carl Ganz. However, this book was published in 1995 and is waaaaay out of date, so don’t buy it even if you can find a copy.
