 Infocom Authors - Dave Lebling
It was a merry day in 1950 when Dave Lebling said his first hello to the world in Washington, D.C. After his family moved he grew up in suburban Maryland and then attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dave said yes due to a hole in his schedule, but found he actually enjoyed it.
In the beginning Dave didn't commit himself fully to the "project" Infocom, he kept close ties to MIT and later actually paid hommage to the university in "Lurking Horror" - "GUE Tech's" campus, the "infinite corridor" and many more places in the game are modeled after actual sites at the school.
