While it was a very interesting period in my life, I was happy to get back to more direct contact with students in the classroom and in my research projects.

Experimental high energy physics research is a group effort. I have been very fortunate to have had outstanding students and colleagues who have made invaluable contributions to the research with which I have been associated.

Expectations outside of the classroom are much greater. A lot more pressure is put on the students to do research and then bring the research back to the classroom.

I don't remember the first half of my life. All I say is a happy childhood is the worst possible preparation for life.

The only currency I value is the coin of the spirit. That's very important in my life.

A happy childhood... is the worst possible preparation for life.
