was not only my (MR) mentor but also a great personal friend. I often traveled to Europe to visit him and I remain a friend of his family to this day. Biographical portrait Seymour Steven Brody was born in the Bronx in New York City. He wrote that he “always wanted to be a pilot, so for high school I elected to go to an ‘aviation school’, Haaren High School in Manhattan where I excelled in mathematics and science.” He was a maverick, even APR-246 in vivo as a youth. His autobiographical notes state: “Ran off to join Navy (at age 15 or 16). My parents found out I joined the Navy, from another friend of mine. I had a cousin who was a captain in the Navy… (who) located me in the Navy training base in upstate New York. After several months they gave me an honorable discharge, as an underage minor [US Navy, May 23, 1944 until June 21, 1944 (20 days)]”. Steve was then drafted into the US Army (Feb. 25, 1946 to August 29, 1946); and re-enlisted on August 30, 1946 and served until August 16, 1947. “After the Army, I

went back to night school (Evander Childs) to complete my high school education, so I could apply to college. I did perfect in algebra and geometry.” Steve took the NYC fireman’s test and passed, but started college since he was not called up for training. According to Steve’s autobiographical notes, he might not have started school at all had he started training as a fireman! Nevertheless, Steve went on to graduate in 1950 from City College of New York (New York City)

with a B.S. in Physics. He then ID-8 enrolled at New York University as a night student for his M.S. in Physics. From 1950 to 1951, he worked full time during the day as an electronic scientist at the NY Naval Shipyard, in Brooklyn, NY testing cathode ray tubes to determine if they met Navy specifications. From 1952 to 1953, he held another job as a physicist for the US Army Signal Corps at Ft. Monmouth, NJ because it was closer to Rutgers University where Marcia Brody (his first wife) held a teaching fellowship in biology to study for her Masters degree. Commuting to his job at Ft. Monmouth during the day and driving to NYU at night, he completed his M.S. in Physics at New York University in 1953. At the University of Illinois by 1953, both Marcia and Steve received fellowships for doctoral studies with Steve in the laboratory of Eugene Rabinowitch and Marcia Brody in the laboratory of Robert Emerson. In 1956, Steve received his Ph.D. in Physico-Chemical Biology (PCB, as it was called; later this program was renamed as Biophysics) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 1960, he took a position at the U.S.
