Did you know...

I came across on some very interesting facts about Bucky's only daughter, and grandchildren, and their accomplishments. Listen to this:

Fuller's daughter, Allegra, was professor of Dance and Dance Ethnology at UCLA and founder of the Buckminster Fuller Institute (BFI). She was a Core Consultant on the PBS series DANCING for WNET/Channel 13. Married Robert Snyder 'aka' Bob. and have two children, Alexandra and Jaime.

Bob, a filmmaker, received an Academy Award for The Titan: Story of Michelangelo and a nomination for The Hidden World. He also won awards on biographical films on Henry Miller, Pablo Casals, Anaïs Nin, Willem de Kooning, and Fuller.

Jaime Snyder also becomes co-founder of BFI, now Executive Committee Member and former Executive Director. His film projects include: Executive Producer for the PBS American Masters’ Special Buckminster Fuller: Thinking Out Loud; and Co-Director of the film Reflections: Buckminster Fuller. He resides with his wife, Cheryl, and daughter, Mira, on the West Coast.

Alexandra May, named after Bucky and Anna's first daughter who tragically died as a child, was the associate Director of the Isamu Noguchi Museum and Gardens--whom Fuller admired and befriended--and is a board member of World Game. She is married to Sam May, a stock analyst. She resides with her husband and two children, Olivia and Rowan, on the West Coast.
