Title: I am privileged to have been coauthor with Doug
Author: F.Abraham (IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA 95120, USA)

When I first met Doug, he was already famous. John Barker and Doug had joined the San Jose IBM Research Division in 1969. I had already been with IBM for three years but at the IBM Palo Alto Scientific Center, a small activity created by the Data Processing Division to help establish stronger ties between IBM and U.S. universities. Stanford University was our neighbor, and I started collaborations on nucleation theory.
