Thanksgiving

In 1973 my friend Steve Vernon invited me to his home in the Los Angeles area for Thanksgiving Day.
I was fresh from Mexico, and had no clue about this welcoming American tradition.  His father was British, and his family very hospitable. We had hardly met as graduate students at UCSB, and there I was, sleeping in his room, as if we were relatives.

Steve later went on the get a PhD in experimental Solid State Physics, with professor Vincent Jaccarino in 1977. I did my work with professor Robert L. Sugar, in Theoretical High Energy Physics, and got my Ph.D. in 1981. We lost contact later in life, but now that Thanksgiving is coming, I remembered him, and his family.

Thanks a lot.
