| Dr. Seaborg and Indira Gandhi | Dr. Seaborg with Chou En-Lai in Beijing, China, 1973 | Dr. Seaborg with Mario Cuomo and Jesse Jackson at the International Platform Association in 1984 |
I'm going to end by just briefly mentioning some of the other people I've met around the world. Here I am with Indira Gandhi in Bombay at the time of the dedication of an atomic center there in January, 1967. Here I am with Chou En-Lai, here's my wife Helen, when we went to the People's Republic of China in 1973 to open up the exchange of information. This was at the time of the cultural revolution, so it was a very interesting trip. Here I am with Mario Cuomo and Jesse Jackson at the annual banquet of the International Platform Association, of which I served as president for a number of years; this was in 1984.

Dr. Seaborg with talkshow host/Tennis star Jinx Falkenburg |
I thought you'd like this, too. This is Jinx Falkenburg, who was a tennis star and also a co-hostess with her husband, Tex McCrary, on a TV show. They had me on as a guest. I was only supposed to be on for a few minutes, but I was there for a whole hour. I guess you can see why. This is not one of my wife Helen's favorite pictures.

Dr. Seaborg with Shirley Temple at the Commonwealth Club, 1984 |
I also met Shirley Temple. I'd known her on a number of occasions, but this was the occasion when I spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco in 1984, when she introduced me.

Dr. Seaborg with Ann Margaret, 1984 |
And who is that? Ann Margret. We were chosen to receive the Great Swedish Heritage Award jointly in 1984. I have another copy of this picture, which I brought home in order to get it framed for home; and I gave it to my wife Helen, and I waited a week. Nothing happened. I waited two weeks; nothing happened. I waited three weeks; nothing happened. I finally said, "What's happened to my picture with Ann Margret?" She said, "Oh, didn't you know? Nobody's framing pictures anymore."

This is my last slide. Thank you very much.
