Life would be indeed easier if the experimentalists would only pause for a little while!

My mother used to wheel me about the campus when we lived in that neighborhood and, as she recounted years later, she would tell me that I would go to McGill.

I have always loved going to school.

Growing up, mostly in Montreal, I was an only child of loving parents.

My interest in the sciences started with mathematics in the very beginning, and later with chemistry in early high school and the proverbial home chemistry set.

My education at Baron Byng High School was excellent, with dedicated masters (boys and girls were separate).
