  • Dear Shelly,
  • At the end of your introduction, could you please
    pass on kind greetings from our colleagues who at
    the last moment could not come
  • Venya Berezinsky, stuck in Rome with no US visa
  • Leon Cooper
  • Val Fitch, whose new knee is not yet operational
  • Jerry Friedman, whose sister passed away
    yesterday
  • Alan Guth, whose mother died yesterday
  • Lev Okun, stuck in Moscow with no US visa
  • Mike Salamon, who has been recalled to NASA due
    to a major restructuring
  • Sam Ting, who is shuttling between Rome and DC,
  • attempting to salvage AMS in the face of massive
    NASA budget cuts but may join us later
  • Steve Weinberg

  • On a sad note, could you please dedicate this
    symposium to the memory of those who have had a
    major impact on my life, but who are no longer
    having fun with physics on this earth. Could we
    please have a moment of silence in their memory?
  • D. Allan Bromley, a strong supporter out of
    nowhere
  • Rod Cool, another booster for no apparent reason
  • Herman Feshbach, for his wry humor
  • Vernon Hughes, an example to all of us of the
    power of persistence, e.g. with g-2
  • Cos Papaliolios, the spontaneous thesis advisor
    of record for Bruce Cortez and Bill Foster
  • when we got funded at Michigan
  • Fred Reines, who organized the first Dumand
    workshop
  • George Reynolds, who taught me how to work
    underwater
  • Abdus Salam, who went on record urging the DOE to
    fund the IMB proposal
  • Dave Schramm, who taught me astrophysics, and how
    to climb Mt. Elbrus
  • Karl Strauch, who encouraged me to take a lead in
    the first Dumand workshop
  • Tim Toohig, who showed me how to align the
    Fermilab neutrino beam line
  • Sam Treiman, who taught me what little theory I
    know
  • Rene Turlay, who introduced me to France, food,
    skiing, wine, and an old language
  • Bill Williams, without whom I would not be at BU
    "Whatever Silber wants, we'll deliver."
  • Bob Wilson, who was in the Fermilab machine shop
    every morning at 6 am
  • my father , the radioman who taught me a lot of
    physics
