"On the Hill"

" I worked in high energy physics. And we were the next generation that came along that was not doing manual labor, like sweeping mopping, the yard crew, or whatever. And high energy physics was an area that we had to learn how to read film. And this film was taking pictures of the bombardment of atoms in their high energy physics lab, because it was a big drum there. And all of this was being bombarded in a liquid, and then being filled. And on this film, it had traces of tracks of bubbles, not bigger than the top of a stick pen. And we had to identify the atoms and all of the electrodes and everything that went with it. And I can remember at the University of Maryland, and I can't find my notebook that I kept, we were the high energy physics scales, who discovered particles that weren't even named yet. So the university was known for that and I worked there, Pearl Lee Campbell, Ethel Lockerman Dory, and Lucille Sharps. And we were the counterparts, you know, out of Lakeland."
