I worked for him at INA as a researcher and IT guy while a student at Texas A&M in the 1990s and helped design and build INA's first computer-based system for tracking and tagging artifacts and photographs. We had a couple of early Nikon Coolscans and had interns feed those all day long to scan what had to be hundreds of thousands of negatives and slides...they still hadn't finished by the time I left a couple of years later. Dr. Bass had great stories to tell and I always liked hearing about his adventures. RIP.
