Stanford and Schawlow and Physicists
On September - 30 - 2009
What’s especially important to me is my family life, and that includes being close to my father, a co-author of my book, who studied under Dr. Arthur Leonard Schawlow at Stanford University. Dr. Schawlow invented the laser and won the Nobel Prize. Back in the 60s during the height of the Vietnam War, Dr. Schawlow wrote a letter to the United States government confirming that my father would be of more service to this country as a physicist than as a soldier. Perhaps I owe my life to one of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs and I certainly intend to spend the rest of my life trying to become one.
