Dr. William B. Spillman Jr. writes: “Wow, it’s hard to believe that it is almost 60 years since our class began their life changing experiences at Brown. What an amazing time that was! At this point, I am working on a small bucket list that I am trying to finish. One part of my life, though, has just ended, and that is my professional scientific life. My most recent and final book, with my old friend Eric Udd, entitled Fiber Optic Sensors: An Introduction for Engineers and Scientists, 3rd Edition has just been published by Wiley–a pretty good book I think, with its two previous editions having been cited more than 1,900 times. So now I’ll turn to Life 2.0 with family and friends full time and indulge my interests in writing poetry, writing, and recording songs and the digital photography of nature, especially the large birds found down here in the Savannah area. To my old classmates and their counterparts at Pembroke I will just say, as Spock taught us, live long and prosper, old friends.”
