“Thanks for posting this. This is my Dad, John McConnell who died in 1997. We are very proud of him for the work he did on the Gizmo and 10cc's Old Wild Men was played at his funeral. It's so wonderful to know that his work is commemorated on this site. Brought a tear to my eye. Sarah”

“Thanks Sarah, you've every right to feel proud - the Gizmo is a great story, an unusual meeting of art and science and your dad played a big part in it :-)”
