" I went to high school in Rahway, New Jersey, and Rahway held the headquarters of Merck and, most importantly, the location of their major research laboratory. We had a small restaurant in Rahway, and our major customers were Merck people. So as a soda jerk and dishwasher in a small luncheonette, I heard about Merck, and specifically what was going on in research, from scientists and engineers. They had great ideas and loved what they were doing. They were passionate about their work, and that infected me. When it came time for college, I spoke with a number of them, and they suggested I go into chemistry. I was doing well at school by that time and went to the University of Pennsylvania, where I majored in chemistry."
