Dallas, Astrophysics symposium, concerts, Austin
“It’s great to be among people working on the things I’ve always so enjoyed studying –the stimulus to work hard is terrific! Hope I’ll be able to tell you more about the parks, walks and music in Dallas after a while. Settling into the apartment and starting study has had the priority. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra has its headquarters in the grounds of the SMU, two hundred yards odd from here. So we’ll be making the best of that!”
