Re: Fw: Father of Health Physics

Aloha Dr. Kathren,

As I picked up my text (titled "The Plutonium Story") last night to gain 
insight on how Dr. Seaborg gained success, I noticed your name. I have always 
felt that your name was so familiar and one that I have noticed in the past. 
As a former Battelle employee, I was able to understand the work of Herb 
Parker and Mr. Lauriston Taylor. I also understand that the great physicist 
working at ORNL in the earlier days coined the term Health Physics. I 
understand that he hailed from North Carolina.

Anyways, so many have contributed just the same as the individual I am 
reading about again to gain some motivation and to reinforce why it its so 
important to include detailed thinking when operating as a Health Physicist. 
I wanted to thank you  publically for your work on the Plutonium Story. I 
have chosen Dr. Seaborg as a model to assist me during my quest as I support 
remediation activites across the USA.

Mahalo Nui Loa,


Edmond Moke Young, Jr.
Health Physicist
