Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Jack Truher (1960 BS Physics) shares his experiences as a student during the late 1950s and as an employee at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory from 1965 to 1996. Truher describes his upbringing in Southern California, his early exposure to unions, and his experiences in ROTC while a Stanford student. He relates some of his work experiences at Lawrence Livermore Labs in the early 1960s and at SLAC under director Wolfgang Panofsky. Turning to his activism, Truher recalls attending antiwar events at Stanford and shares tales of his work with unions and his advocacy for his coworkers at SLAC. He also offers thoughtful reflections on the relationship between the labor and peace movements.
