Fermi Tradition Lives on at NAL [excerpt]
Asa Newman
Asa Newman, now on the staff of the NAL 15 Ft. Bubble Chamber, was an operator of the cyclotron with Mr. Fermi. "I was always amazed at his ability to talk to everyone. He would explain a problem to me in the way I needed it, then to a student on his level, and then to another physicist. He was able to communicate with all of us and would never walk away until we understood it."
