[Origami] George Rhoads

[Donna Walcavage]

I learned a George Rhoads elephant 5 or so years ago at the BOS Autumn meeting.

One of his kinetic sculptures is, or was, in the north building of the Port 
Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd Street in NYC.  Last I saw it, it was in need of 
some restoration work but some parts were still working away.

Here’s my story of an unexpected encounter with George Rhoads:

Sad, even though at 95 years old he has lived a long life.
And yes, he did advanced origami in the 50's and 60's. I mentioned a tiny bit 
of that history here:
