Just got my Radiations for Fall 2013, and was fascinated to read the abbreviated account of Worth Seagondollar’s lecture to the Sigma Pi Sigma Congress in 2004. I had to read the whole transcript on your website, and was fascinated to learn things I had never heard before. Thank you for making the transcript available. (I look forward to reading each issue of Radiations, especially the “Elegant Connections in Physics” by Dr. Neuenschwander.)

I never met Dr. Seagondollar personally, but worked with colleagues at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) who knew him. I notice that at the end of the transcript, Chairman Jim Stith remarks, “And we hope that when we get this transcribed, you could take a look at it and tell us those things that you meant to say and those things that we still need to know.” If you are interested, I offer some corrections and suggestions to the transcript for your consideration. 

I am a long-time member of Sigma Pi Sigma, having joined at Emory University in 1961. My PhD in physics is from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and I worked at ORNL (in the Fusion Energy Division) for almost 30 years, retiring in 1994.
