Mom and Sally Field
In May Mom got to meet Sally Field, the movie star, at the Physics Department where Mom worked. Sally had come to visit her brother, Dr. Rick Field, who was a professor in the department. Mom talked about it meeting Sally for years afterwards.

After our encounter in March I wrote to Elizabeth and then in June I received a letter from her. She had moved again and on the enclosed letter was a sticky note saying,
The Letter…
Sunday, June 19, ‘83
Dear Larry,
I’ve felt a calling to write to you for some weeks now, but am now finally taking time to sit down and write. Occasional I think of you, and despite what you may believe (I won’t mind read, however) and despite whether you ever give a thought to me, I do think of you only in a positive and fond way. I had no capacity to recognize your generosity and/or love, or affection and concern when we spent time together – in that galaxy far away and long ago. I wonder how your life is progressing, which is a curiosity only, and perhaps though as well as an attempt to re-contact you. My last trip to G’vill was August of 1981; as you can see AI don’t return much. I’m still living in Orlando, thought not the same place, though I’m now a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology at the university of South Florida. in Tampa. I have to complete my move out there at the end of this summer. I’d like very much if you would write and let me know how you are doing or share any thoughts you have that are sharable on yourself, your work, the cosmos, the past, the present, the future. I would like to be at peace with you.
Elizabeth.
