I arrived in Padova with an NSF Fellowship September 1, 1958. Why would a young U.S.
physicist (2 years from the Ph.D.) come to Padova?
For this we have to travel 7500 km and a few years back from Padova to Madison, Wisconsin.
1952 – W.F. (Jack) Fry arrives at Univ of Wisconsin to start an experimental program in particle physics using nuclear emulsions.
1953 – He receives a grant from the Atomic Energy Commission and I become his first student, shortly after joined by M.S. Swami from India and a year later by postdoc George Snow. 2<br>

The exciting thing at the time was “strange” particles. K-mesons, the θ-τ puzzle, Λ, Σ, Ξ hyperons, associated production, and Gell Mann’s new strangeness quantum number.
We flew emulsion stacks in balloons to get high energy cosmic ray events, and exposed stacks
to kaon beams at the new proton accelerators, the 2-3 GeV Cosmotron and the 6.3 GeV Bevatron. The K– beams from the Bevatron were prolific producers of strange particles. We produced about 5 papers/year – a paper had 3-4 authors and 1 – 1001 events. Here are a couple I especially remember. 3<br>
