Truman鈥檚 energetic enthusiasm, his damned-near-perfect photographic memory, knowledge of physics, and his direct-hands-on approach to his research continue to be strong influences in my career as a civil and environmental professional engineer.

My favorite Trumanism? That鈥檚 easy鈥

鈥淧ositrons? I don鈥檛 believe in them. They鈥檙e just holes in the Fermi Sea of Electrons. Positrons鈥 HA!鈥

Please give my best regards to Alez Weiss, Suresh Sharma, Don Larson (if he鈥檚 still around), and of course, Bryan and Beth Black.

Sincerely, Rob Leslie (Physics, 鈥89)
