QUOTE: During the summer of 1969 Phil [Choy] and I had to embark on a crash program to prepare course outlines and lecture notes for the course. . . . Not being in academia also meant that I am free to undertake research without having to worry about academic guidelines to justify the funding, tenure, and promotions. As a member of the community, I am glad that I have had this opportunity to participate in helping . . . .
