My Time With the JFEAC
Pages 66 - 71
Abstract
When I finished high school in 1954, I had been admitted to several colleges around Philadelphia, since going away would add room and board to the cost. As a B student with As in math and some science courses, I received no scholarship offers, and there was no such thing as need-based support. While deciding what to do next, I looked for a summer job and came upon an ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer’s help-wanted section for a lab technician at the Eldridge Reeves Johnson Foundation for Research in Medical Physics. Hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, the foundation was based on a legacy from the founder of the Victor Talking Machine Company, which was later swallowed up by RCA. It seemed interesting so I called them and was interviewed on a Saturday morning.
