Dick Falkenbury, father of SMP, running for SMP board

This guy definitely deserves a seat at the table. He was a taxi driver when he hatched the idea for what is now the SMP.

Dick Falkenbury, the former cab driver who helped start the push for a new Seattle monorail, said yesterday he's a candidate for a slot on the monorail project board.

He will seek a two-year term in the seat occupied by attorney Cleve Stockmeyer.

Falkenbury for Seattle has a website, but it looks like it was reset [nsfw] to the default bsd placeholder page.
