Young Grant and his legacy

In the early '70's I hired a young physics undergraduate, Grant Sheffer, to work with me as a technical expert on the old SFU Neutron Generator. His first job was repairing an older turbo pump and he did it. In the mid '70's we went to TRIUMF and he assisted with the successful installation of a novel gas jet system on the proton beam line, BL4A. He then joined TRIUMF formally as while I Iost a great technical assistant, we continued to work closely on many projects. The picture I uploaded was Grant as part of experimental group studying proton induced reactions. One major story about Grant is how he helped organized the series of lectures by Nobel prize winner, Prof. Richard Feynman from Cal Tech in the '70's at SFU. Feynman did two trips and great lectures for an overflowing undergraduate audience, and Grant played a key role in this. Grant will be missed.
