Memoirs of a Hayseed Physicist by Peter Martel

It’s a very busy time of year for me so I will return to the book written by my husband and will continue with exerts one paragraph a day. I left off at part 55 last summer where Peter and I met.

Part 55:

My Second University: 

In those days, most of the foreign physics students were of East Indian extraction……At one point the Indian students were having a party in the hope of getting to know girls and I was asked to bring someone. I asked “how many?” and they suggested at least two. As I recall I brought several very nice ladies, blondes, of course. It was at this party that I met a sensational blue-eyed blonde who subsequently became my wife and the mother of our four children. She had been accompanied to the party by her older brother.
