Way to go Dad!

When I was a little kid (hey, this was a long time ago), my Dad (Ken Watson) and his good friend Murph Goldberger (a good guy, BTW) wrote a classic Physics text book on quantum mechanics, "Collision Theory".

This book was published in 1964 and has always sold well. The publisher is now planning on a reprinting it as a classic text.

My Dad and Murph (now in their 80s) still write papers together. Their continued enjoyment of work reminds me of Joseph Campbell's advice to his students to "follow your bliss" - find work that you have a passion for, and then do it!
