My family gave me the best in education.
At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.
In those days I was terrible at athletics and never made a team, but quite easily led my class in academics.
I'll never forget the fall colors on the Berkshires.
I was born in Taunton, Massachusetts on June 1, 1917, but I actually grew up in nearby New Bedford.
To my father, business was the highest calling, but to my mother, medicine was the top profession.
