I Turned My Attention For A While

In 1956 We Observed The Electron Antineutrino.

My Early Childhood Memories Center Around This Typical American Country Store And Life In A Small American Town, Including 4th Of July Celebrations Marked By Fireworks And Patriotic Music Played From A Pavilion Bandstand.

Our Home Had Many Books Due Principally To The Educational Interests Of My Sister And Two Brothers, All Of Whom Where Serious Students Engaged In Professional Studies; My Sister Became A Doctor Of Medicine And My Brothers Became Lawyers.

In 1958, I Was A Delegate To The Atoms For Peace Conference In Geneva.

However, I Had A Chance Encounter With An Admissions Officer Of Stevens Institute Of Technology, Who So Impressed Me By His Erudition And Enthusiasm For The School That I Changed Course And Entered Stevens Institute.
