I am more excited than I should be to be attending the 100th Year of Physics at the University of Arkansas in early April. I finally got someone to trade unassigned ER call weeks with me so that I can go. That's right I am a physics nerd, as my kid sister (now 46 yo) would say. I graduated with a BA Physics degree from U of A in 1978. I am look forward to visiting with the professors and fellow graduates.
I will get to hear Dr. Wolfgang Ketterle give the Centennial Maurer Distinguished Lecture. The title of the lecture is "New Forms of Quantum Matter Near Absolute Zero temperature". I hope I won't feel too lost. I have not kept up with the changes in Physics. (We all know it's tough enough keeping up with the changes in medicine.)
I have made my hotel arrangements, made arrangements for Rusty (my chocolate Labrador), and am mentally packing.

When I just googled up to find the centennial to tie down a scheduling detail, I happened upon your post here.
I remember 1977, when you worked at the electronics lab, and I was a freshman working with the Heathkit electronics assignments.
I went into law rather than physics, and plan to attend a goodish bit of the reunion, though sadly I will only get to do Friday afternoon through Saturday and will thus miss the Thursday lecture.
It should be fun! See you there.

Look forward to seeing you there too!
