Psychoacoustics and me

This talk is an expression of gratitude to the speakers today and to the entire field of hearing research. I did not start out doing hearing research. I received the D. Phil. degree in 1965 for research in condensed matter theoretical physics, and I worked in that field for a further ten years. In 1976, I gingerly put my foot into the psychoacoustical waters, and I was hooked. Certainly, a primary reason for my conversion to the study of mammalian hearing was the people who work in that area. The fields of hearing research and acoustics, and the Acoustical Society of America in particular have been both exciting and extremely friendly. I cannot imagine a more enjoyable career. Thank you all.
