Patton said he remembers when
Lamartine Hood, dean of the Col

Patton said retirement is won
derful “You are free to concen

But he said he is one of the
lucky people who has always
loved his work and that he is very
grateful to his friends at Penn
State who grant him some space at
the laboratory bench.
