Physics Degree
The curiosity of members with physics degrees reminded me of a story about the primary researcher/developer of the blue LED (Light Emitting Diode), Shuji Nakamura. The red and green LED was relatively easy to manufacture, but blue, essential for the development of the common LED light bulb and the color TV was for many years elusive and deemed impossible by the world's electronics companies. Shuji, an employee at a Japanese research laboratory was looked down upon by his fellow employees because he didn't possess a PHD in physics. But the history books will tell of a person who held essential traits common with those noted for great inventions in history - determination, creative and critical thinking skills. Whatever degree, or not, one may hold, how you apply yourself with your knowledge is the key ingredient to the betterment of mankind. Who among us possess these traits? I think we know.
P.S OK. Don'[t be modest Anthohy Willey. Physics from BYU.

Subject: Any physicists?
At the Reno convention I had a brief and pleasant conversation with a tuner who had a degree in physics. Unfortunately, I lost the scrap of paper I wrote his name on.
I believe there are more than one member of our illustrious group with a background in engineering and physics.
Anyone care to confess?
Anyone care to turn in a fellow member?
