The current profile says that he can't live without Slack, he did after all love the auto-delete message feature, and it says that his dream mentor is Elon Musk.

Steve StocktonHOST
He walked up to the Northwest Orient counter, paid $20 in cash for a one-way
Steve StocktonHOST
ticket to Seattle, and gave the name Dan Cooper.
Steve StocktonHOST
Now, witnesses later remembered him as quiet, polite, maybe in his mid-40s.
Steve StocktonHOST
He wore
Steve StocktonHOST
He looked like an ordinary businessman on a routine commuter hop, the kind of fellow who blends into the background of a bus station or a hotel lobby without drawing a second glance.
Steve StocktonHOST
He climbed aboard Northwest Orient Flight 305, a Boeing 727 trijet, and settled into seat 18C.
Steve StocktonHOST
Shortly after takeoff, while the jet was climbing out through the gray rain clouds, Cooper leaned over and handed a slip of folded paper to 18-year-old flight attendant Florence Schaffner.
Steve StocktonHOST
Working in the skies back then, flight attendants were used to businessmen slipping their phone numbers on cocktail napkins, so she dropped it into her purse without reading it.

My number four, I have who was D.B. Cooper? Sure.
FostHOST

FostHOST
It's the only commercial airliner like heist that was never solved on who did it.
