Ric,  There are plenty of us who could share lots of professional and
personal perspectives on Sid -- I think it is fair to say that he is
the progenitor of US Post Keynesianism -- but you would be
best served if you contact John King at LaTrobe University, Australia
who has written (w/i the last year) a marvelous biographical piece on
Sid's work.  I have his address if you need it.  Roy   p.s. King has
just finished a book called "Conversations with Post Keynesians" which
will surely also give you some stuff on Sid.
