My high school years were fun and frustrating, typical of the teen years. The most important accomplishment was meeting my wife, Ruth. -Alan J. Heeger Teen
I have a strong memory of the day I was told that my father had a weak heart and that he had to go to the hospital. He died when I was nine years old on the same day that Franklin Roosevelt died; it was his 45th birthday. -Alan J. Heeger Birthday
