Hi David. Lovely blog. Nice to “meet” someone from New Mexico. I should have never left… but some day I’ll get myself back to the southwest. 🙂
Thank you, Teagan! Yes, I love New Mexico. Hope you’ll get a chance to return, at least for a visit! 🙂
Hi! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the mag’s review of Rarity from the Hollow is glowing! Thanks again.
I’m about 2/3 of the way through. Enjoying it so far. Had to take a break for Phoenix Comicon, but plan to return to it this weekend.
David,
I’ve often thought a full biography of Ross Lomanitz should be written. After reading American Prometheus, and since I lived near Las Cruces and travel often to Socorro, I found it interesting that New Mexico Tech had attracted talent such as Sterling Colgate and Ross Lomanitz (among many other, I’m certain), right in the shadow of the Trinity Site . Lomanitz certainly proved to be a credit to American education, physics and personal values. A hero, perhaps not recognized as such, now
Perhaps you would be best to write his story.
Thank you, Bob. It’s certainly a project I’d find fascinating and I agree it would be worthwhile. I’ll definitely keep it in mind. If I were to tackle such a thing, I would want to devote some time to serious research, since it’s a story that really deserves to be told correctly.
Hi 🙂
I hope you don’t mind me reaching out in a comment — I couldn’t find a way to contact you privately (you can always delete this comment…)
I noticed that your Gravatar doesn’t link to your blog. This makes it more difficult for others to find you. Please take a look at my blog post linked below, which explains the easy steps you can take to fix this 🙂

Happy blogging!
Thanks for the tip. I have updated my Gravatar. I also added my official site, which has an email link.
You’re very welcome, glad I could be of service. I can confirm that all looks good now, from where I sit! 🙂
Thank you David, Let me introduce myself. My graduate studies were done at UCBerkeley ; I was the last graduate student of David Sloan, the second person to join E, O, Lawrence’s LBL. A very inventive genius- first million volt x ray tube, SLAC accelerator, and many others. Towards the end of my studies I was directed to apply for a position in Colgate’s controlled fusion group. After a brief interview he hired me with the provision that I finish my thesis in a month.The other member of our 3 man group was Harold Furth who was also hired before completing his degree. I worked with Stering until he left LLNL stating ” Fusion studies had become too sophisticated to fly by the seat of your pants”
Thanks for dropping by the blog, Charles. Always good to meet someone else who worked with Stirling.
