As the Nation's primary supporter of research in the physical sciences, the DOE Office of Science led the way in creating a unique system of large-scale, specialized, often one-of-a-kind facilities for scientific discovery.
With time, many of the facts I learned were forgotten but I never lost the excitement of discovery.
