I hope that I have remembered to thank those people both near and far away who have put their own lives aside when needed to provide either physical comfort or a willing ear.
She grew up around Kinglake West in the mountains north of Melbourne (the boonies!). To attend high school, she had to ride a bus for many hours a day each way on an undeveloped mountain road. Pamela left high school after her 5th year exams to work at the Emulsion Lab at Kodak Australasia and to continue school at night. She then attended The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology majoring in Industrial Chemistry.
Pamela married Bob on November 13, 1965. Not long after, they sailed to America on the Oriana and settled in Milford, Connecticut.
About five years later they divorced.
Pamela worked first in a lab at Yale, then soon moved across the street to the John B. Pierce Foundation LaboratoriesShe spent some 19 years there working for James D. (left) and about 5 of those 19 working with Charlie B. and guinea pigs (right).
She also developed enough seniority to have the best parking space in the lot!
Jim had a syringe in his hand (left image). Some of my good colleagues, looking at the photo, suggested that he was thinking 'bout injecting me with something.
Otherwise, I had been on my own for 15 years and was content as a single working female. Then came 1980...
