Mike Zeller's memories of Ken Crowe

Ken was my friend and mentor. As a student from UCLA doing an experiment at the Bevatron, I was fortunate enough to be assigned to Ken's group. For better or worse he treated me like one of his own. He worked me just as hard, was on my back just a hard, and taught and mentored me just as he did his own students. And when it came time for me to find a job he went to bat for me, and I've been at Yale ever since. So I only owe my whole career to Ken.

He was my friend too. We crossed paths often at PSI and a few years back at Peter Truoel's retirement (Peter was a post doc when I was a student). In hindsight, I think the world felt a little safer for me knowing Ken was there. I will miss him.
