(photo by Joan Hamilton, 1986). I came to the Univ. of
Maryland in 1962 when Johnny Toll was the Chairman of the Physics
Department. He is now the Chancellor Emeritus of the Univ. of
Maryland System. His office used to be next to mine in the
Physics Building. Toll was John A. Wheeler's student at Princeton.

of the State-wide System of the University of Maryland. When he was
in various administrative positions at College Park Campus, he was
very helpful to me. Photo taken in November 2002.

Aleksandrovich Markov from the Lebedev Physical
Institute (Moscow) during the 13th International Colloquium on Group
Theoretical Methods in Physics held in College Park, Maryland (1984).

- Jim Hartle with the Brills,
suring the first Workshop on Squeezed States and Uncertainty Relations
held at the Univ. of Maryland in March of 1991.
- Lusia Bonner (Mrs. Sakharov).
This photo was taken during the first Sakharov conference held in 1991
at the Lebedev Institute (Moscow). John A. Wheeler is on far right.
I was standing between two ladies. One on my right is Mrs. Sakharov, and
the other is Tatiana Faberge, a Russian lady working at CERN (Switzerland).
One second before the camera shot, Vladimir Man'ko squeezed in between
Mrs. Sakharov and myself, and spoiled the show. Since the
Sakharov Conference was supported in part by CERN, Tatiana Faberge was
in charge of collecting registration fees, even from those big shots
who are not accustomed to paying anything for conference.
Mrs. Sakharov is also known as Elena or Yelena Bonner in the literature

- Veronique Hussin
confronts Roy Glauber during the Harmonic Oscillator Workshop
held at the Univ. of Maryland in 1992.
I met her in Canterbury (England) while attending the ICGTMP (group
theory) conference in 1982. She was a student from Belgium then.
She came to the Univ. of Maryland in 1984 when I organized one of the
meetings in the same ICGTMP series. Since then, we met almost every
year, and she is now one of the leading professors at the Inst. for
Mathematical Research of the Univ. of Montreal. As for Roy Glauber,
you should know who he is.
- with Margarita Man'ko, Roy Glauber, Daesoo Han and
Jong-Jean Kim, in Moscow's Kremlin Theater (May 1992).
- with Ziro Maki in Oxford (England 1993).
Maki is one of the original thinkers among the Japanese physicists,
and I like the Japanese way of thinking.
- with Maurice Kibler,
near the top of the Austrian Alps (1994).
- with Horace Yuen, and others
at one of the department stores in Beijing (June 1995). I met
Horace in 1988 during the Wigner Symposium held
at the University of Maryland. I became interested in application of
the Lorentz group after my association with him.
- with Horace Yuen, during the
ICSSUR7 (2001). I become happy whenever I meet him.

- with Herbert Walther and Alexander Sergienko,
during ICSSUR7 (Boston 2001). Herbert
seems to be very happy, even though I was bombarded by two
different sources of light.
- Elizabeth Giacobino and Claude
Fabre, during ICSSUR7. Everybody likes to pose with
Elizabeth, and I also have several pictures with her. But she looks most
comfortable with her own French compatriot (Boston 2001).
- with the Solimenos in Prague
(July 2001). We met at the old town of Prague while they
were vacationing in Prague, and I was taking an afternoon off from
the conference I was attending. The meeting was a total surprise.
When visited in Naples in 1998 and 1999., they were very nice to me.
Prof. Solimemo spent an entire day to lead me to the church where
St. Thomas Aquinas spent his final years, and took
this photo for me.
- with Howard Brandt,
during the banquet for the 7th Wigner Symposium held at the
Univ. of Maryland (August 2001). He has always been helpful to
me whenever I need help.
- with Warren Siegel (Stony Brook
2001). Warren Siegel is always Warren Siegel.
- Fred Goldhaber became 60.
There was a celebration of this event in the
form of a one-day conference followed by a banquet at
Stony Brook (New York) on October 7 (2001). The title of the
conference was ``An Open World of Physics.''
- with the Lipkins,
during Fred Goldhaber's 60th birthday celebration held at
Stony Brook (October 2001). I heard Lipkin's seminar talk
in 1960 when I was a graduate student at Princeton, and he used
to come to the Univ. of Maryland very often. Harry Lipkin is always
Harry Lipkin.
- with Sibel Baskal, Elena Georgieva,
and Bilha Segev during the 7th Wigner Symposium
(College Park 2001).
- with two Ukrainian physicists,
during the Akhiezer memorial conference held in Kharkov (Ukraine,
November 2001). On my right is Vadim Demchik, and on my left
(with eye glasses) is Andrey Shcherbakov. Both came from
Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine). They sent me this photo, taken during the
conference banquet.
- with Georgy Afanasiev.
I met him at the Hotel Akademicheskaya (Moscow) in October of 1990.
The big news at that time was that Mikhail Gorbachev got the 1990
Nobel peace prize. Afanasiev was kind enough to come all the way
from Dubna (about 100 km north of Moscow) to pick me up. Since then,
we met several times. He gave me his Soviet Army belt because he
knew I am collecting old Soviet items. Recently, I bought one at a
souvenir shop in the Washington area, and I am ready to return his
belt to him. During the above-mentioned Kharkov meeting, we had a
peaceful moment for a photo. He asked me whether I thought he was
a KGB agent when I saw him first time in 1990. I said Yes even
though my true answer was No. This photo was taken in October
of 2001 in Kharkov, Ukraine.
