In 1946 Indiana U. purchased an electron microscope sight unseen for $600, deciding it was an EM. on the basis of weight. Seeing Dr. Fischer's ad far an assistant, I wondered what an E.M, was. I dashed upstairs to find his office. Having come directly from the airport where I was a pilot. I was dirty and needed a shave. I planned to come back when I had cleaned up. I put my nose against the door to read his small handwriting and office hours. Out he came. We hung together nose to nose as he asked, “Did you want something?” “Poor time to tell you no,” I responded. I got the job in spite of my appearance because, as he told me, I knew photography, could learn the panel on an airplane and wasn't afraid of work. We put the microscope together and it ran! We set up a summer lab course, but he asked me to teach it when he got a sabbatical.
