【 摘 要 】

A man who is full of life, spirit, energy, and fun is often said to have a twinkle in his eye. My friend and mentor, Tom Pyle, who passed away on May 28, 2011, had twinkles in abundance. He grew up in Brooklyn but loved the tropical tunes of Jimmy Buffett and the West Coast jams of the Grateful Dead—one of his greatest thrills was once meeting Jerry Garcia on an airplane. He was an Irishman who picked up plenty of Yiddish expressions and enjoyed "kibitzing." He was a talented academic who became a tenured full professor but switched lanes to the more concrete satisfactions of scientific program management.
