Tommy Rettig

Tommy was a child actor best known for his role on Lassie. He also toured with Rogers and Hammerstein in Annie Get Your Gun, and appeared in the films The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, written by Dr. Seuss, and the Western River of No Return with Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum.

“For the last 15 years of his life, Rettig was a well-known database programmer, author, and expert. He was an early employee of Ashton-Tate and specialized in dBase, Clipper, FoxBASE and FoxPro.” (Wikipedia entry)

Tommy’s DNA parents are registered in the Xanadu Blockchain. This analog registry of history provides the source of all people in visible society. In order to practice reading the permanent record, I invite you to consult any site that aggregates what happened when Tommy was conceived. I will revisit this in a month and share my own thoughts.

His most important piece of software is reproduced below.
