IBEX organizer and renaissance person Barbara Jean Sunshine Walsh “At #IBEX13 I had some postcards on my desk with a notice “Postcards from the Future” and invited speakers to fill in their home addresses and give me a topic, with the promise that I’d write them a postcard poem — In The Future — not to exceed 34 syllables. Nine of them took me up on my offer. This is the first one, based on a true story, told to me years ago by Clean Marine Systems’ David Flagler after his wild ride on a boat designed by Kurt Hughes. The best part of the storytelling was just as he finished, we got out of the cab, walked into the Miami hotel where everyone was staying, and there was Kurt sitting in the Lobby. Great moments from IBEX Past.”
