Panofsky Passed Away at Age 88

Stanford University has announced that Wolfgang Panofsky, Director Emeritus and found of SLAC, has passed away at the age of 88. He leaves a long and illustrious legacy in the world of high energy physics, and physics in general.

A photo album of his life would open to snapshots of the Panofsky family leaving pre-war Germany to escape persecution, Panofsky as a young man driving Albert Einstein (a friend of his father) while at Princeton, Panofsky in a B-29 bomber 10,000 feet above the world's first nuclear explosion in New Mexico.
