Mary Shaffer: But in the beginning he was sort of an open, loud-speaking man, and he would sit [laughs] in the back of the lecture, no matter who was giving the lecture, and he would heckle the person—he would do this at GAS conferences. He’d yell out, ‘That’s not right!’ you know. [laughs] But he did leave an incredible collection to Corning. He kept everything. You know, he kept every single piece of paper, everything. Which was pretty amazing.
