Fred,
Thanks for the link on Maiman. An authenic scientist. He did it the hard
way but the right way.
Speaking of WW2. A group of us men have coffee Saturady in the tiny local
town. I remain amazed at the cross section of experiences represented by these
individual retirees. Three flew in Vietnam, later 747's for Pan Am and Delta
forced to retire at age 60. The real kicker is our 85 year old, still flying his
own plane.. He was in the Marines at Guadalcanal first fighters arriving a part
of Joe Foss legendary wing.He is still sharp and nimble minded.
I asked what person stood out in their mind as the greatest single man in
the 20th century,, surprise answer
Gen. James H. Dolittle.. an authenic
American, cientist, medal of honor, soldier,
statesman, teacher, man of integrity.
