I had some very interesting people around me, which those folks became The Firesign Theatre: David Ossman was connected with the station, Phil Austin was connected with the station, and Phil Proctor came out to do a show and we connected in LA and that was really the genesis of that whole happening." Bergman also coined the word "love-in" in 1967, and organized the first such event in April 1967 in Los Angeles.〔(Peter Bergman )〕 Bergman was a graduate of Yale University and taught economics there as a Carnegie Fellow.
