As I moved out of my office, I found the letter posted below:  a job offer to my dad, from 1946.  75¢ an hour.  Janitor, at the Radiation Lab of University of California, Berkeley.  He would go to Cal for 8 years from undergraduate through PhD (in Microbiology)  This job likely the beginning of what would prove to be his lifetime’s work – science.
