The Transformer Man of Georgetown!

Dr. Newton Howard wanted to bring joy to the children of his Georgetown neighborhood so he brought two of his hand-made specialty statues of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime from the hit film series Transformers.  That kind gesture has turned into neighborhood drama as MSNBC journalist and son of the late Tim Russert, Luke Russert has declared the statues to be an eyesore and is fighting to have them removed. 

In this remarkable interview, Larry learns about the wonderful, generous heart of this army veteran of the Iraq war and about his incredible work with robotics and artificial intelligence to help amputees and other people with liabilities.
