Richard (Dick) Fay and I collaborated for over 50 years. We met on December 26, 1971. We discuss our collaboration in a 2016 paper. We wrote more than 30 peer-reviewed research papers together and organized 8 scientific meetings. But perhaps our most well-known collaboration is the Springer Hand book of Auditory Research (SHAR). We wrote about the origin and evolution of SHAR in 2014.. Dick passed away, but our friend and colleague Sheryl Coombs and I had the honor of being co-author on Dick’s last paper, published posthumously (with permission of Dick’s family) in 2023. The paper is a wonderful description of Dick’s career. Dick wrote the paper in 2011 and we updated and excerpted it.

In 1967 I took a graduate oceanography course at City College of New York (CCNY). We took a 4 day cruise on the R. V. Eastward (Beaufort, NC). This photo is of the class (sitting) and boat crew. The instructors were Eugenie Clark (front left), Gerry Posner (next to Genie), and C. Lavett Smith (American Museum of Natural History, front right). Smitty showed me the very first otolith I ever saw. Little did I know then that the study of ears (and otoliths) would occupy much of my career.
Center is my 6th grade teacher, Mr. Thomas Vinci and on the right is my long-time friend (from 3rd grade on) Steve Weinberg. Mr. Vinci inspired both Steve and myself (and many other students) to pursue careers in science. Steve became a very prominent science educator and text book author. We both kept in touch with Mr. Vinci until he passed away in 2017.

My wife Helen (right) and I traveled to Scotland in 2003 and visited with Sue and Tony Hawkins. It was during this visit that Tony and I started our collaboration that has led to a substantial number of projects together, including the development of the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life Conferences.
In 2009 Tony and I (and our wives) were exploring sites for one of our conferences and did a bit of tasting of Irish whiskey.
This painting of Albert Einstein as imagined by my friend Mark Weinberg is a favorite of mine. This has nothing to do with. my research, but included just for fun.
Hahanuma Bay, Oahu, Hawai’i. I spent many wonderful days on this beach with my daughter Michelle when we lived in Hawai’i (1969-1978). In those days, in contrast to now, the beach was virtually empty on Sunday mornings, our favorite time to swim on the spectacular in-shore reef.
