I would like to conclude with a note of personal thanks to Alvin for showing me some of his magic. His insight and lectures were the eye opener I needed. I can remember always putting in long days because the work was so stimulating and frankly so much fun. Even though I gave a lot to the endeavor I took away far more than I gave in the form of a set of career skills that sustained me thru a lifetime of service at several of our Nation s Science Labs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Alvin. I hope I have lived up to your inspiration.
