He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest on December 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina and Uruguay. In 1980, he returned to San Miguel as a teacher at the Jesuit school, a job rarely taken by a former provincial superior.

  • The HP Garage—The Birthplace of Silicon Valley 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California
    Brochure A home for innovation The HP Garage—the Birthplace of Silicon Valley 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California HP Corporate Archives Brochure A home for innovation Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined residential street near Stanford University, the HP Garage stands today as the enduring symbol of innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. It was in this humble 12x18-foot building that college friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard first pursued the dream of a company of their own. Guided by an unwavering desire to develop innovative and useful products, the two men went on to blaze a trail at the forefront of the electronics revolution. The history of the HP Garage The HP Garage in 1939 (top) and The garage stands behind a two-story Shingle restored in 2005 (bottom). Style home built for Dr. John C. Spencer about 1905. The exact construction date of the garage is unknown, but while there is no evidence of its presence on insurance maps dated 1908, by 1924 it is clearly denoted on updated documents as a private garage. In 1938, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard decided to “make a run for it” in business. Dave left his job at General Electric in Schenectady, New York, and returned to Palo Alto while Bill scouted rentals. The garage was dedicated as the Birthplace of Silicon Valley in 1989, and HP acquired the He found one perfect for their needs on Addison property in 2000. HP is proud to have worked Avenue. Chosen specifically because of a garage closely with the City of Palo Alto to return the he and Dave could use as their workshop, the house, garage, and shed to conditions much property also offered a three-room, ground- as they were in 1939.

  • Trail Count 2019 Summary Report
    TRAIL COUNT 2019 Annual Count & Survey of San José Trails Trail Count 2019 Trail Count is an annual count and survey conducted along San José Trails. The volunteer-supported effort accomplishes four goals; 1) document the volume of trail usage with per day and annual figures 2) improve trail development (planning and design) 3) improve operations (maintenance and event coordination) 4) improve capability to obtain grant funding This regular effort to collect data can help prioritize projects, shape policy or change the approach to design. Two years ago, staff reviewed a decade of data as the network grew by about 25 miles. • Gap closure projects have a significant impact (86% increase with completion Guadalupe River Trail’s Airport Parkway Under-Crossing). • Build trails and they will come (422% more trail users along Guadalupe River Trail as the system was paved and extended). • Highly-used trails may encourage more women to use trails (the percentage of women using trails increased from 25% to 44%). • More trails mean more fun (46% reported fun as a primary motivator in 2007, this climbed to 70% in 2015). Trail Count was initiated in 2007 to document the impact of trail closures due to downtown’s frequent and large-scale special events. City staff, partnering with the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy and Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, were seeking to show that frequent closures were disruptive to a larger number of trail users and could discourage greater usage of trail systems. The data supported engagement with the City Council’s Transportation and Environment Committee (T&E) to refine and promote a Trail Closure Process to limit future closures, require early coordination to limit impacts to users, and establish protocols for early public notification of unavoidable closures.
