Freedom is a privilege not a right. The innocent make the best guilty - they don't shoot back.

He was not only a advisor to me but a close family friend as well. I am extremely proud to have worked under Ike as his only summer research student at FLC where he guided me in carbohydrate synthesis towards antiviral nucleosides similar to acylovir and ganciclovir. He taught me critical chemistry techniques such as how to perform sucessful air sensitive transfers and he also advised me along with W.R. Bartlett during my Independant Study project of the extraction of Taxanes from a Taxus hicksi shrub. Ike played a huge role in my life and always supported and encouraged me so that i could overcome significant obstacles and pitfalls both in the lab and in life in general. Without Ike's influence, I can honestly say I would never have become the accomplished medicinal chemist i am today. Thank you so much Ike, I owe you so much and you will never be forgotten.

I did congratulate him and asked if it could be exploited. He answered that he had just found 3 cubic microns of it! But it was rare: so at least worth a communication if not a fortune!
