I met him at the 100th APS convention about six years ago. Even then, he still was very with it. A nice guy. I'm sorry to see him go.

The physicist? He was still alive?

Feynman had nice things to say about him, as I recall. RIP.

When my dad was a student at Cornell in the late 1930s he would run into Bethe pretty often in the university library. Really nice guy.

"After the H-bomb was made, reporters started to call Teller the father of the H-bomb. For the sake of history, I think it is more precise to say that Ulam is the father, because he provided the seed, and Teller is the mother, because he remained with the child. As for me, I guess I am the midwife."

RIP
