My Time With Einstein

Book Cover & Preview Text
This book describes many of those conversations that I can remember, but when I read about what some historians later said about him, I found many things that were different from what I knew. Those two years of my life were enriched by his presence. He became my hero, my mentor, and my inspiration to pursue my career with passion. He convinced me that making a contribution to other people was more important than money, so I pursued teaching, and after sixty years in the classroom, I have no regrets.

About the Book
Would you like to know the truth about Albert Einstein from a friend who really knew him? Much of what is reported by some historians about his life is consistent with his personal writings, but much is conjecture based on people who never knew him, and they simply made up whatever the writers thought he must be like. After nearly two years of personal conversation directly with Einstein, I have tried to recall specific things about him which may be of interest to you. He needs to be remembered for the truth about his contributions to the whole world. He was indeed a “rare bird.”
