Bellis said...: Jean's right, I think. It's Charles Richter, who did his seismic measurements in a house near Annandale Golf Course that Caltech sold off a few years ago. There's a great story about his housekeeper.; March 1, 2011 at 9:25 PM

Mister Earl said...: Charlie Richter was always showing off his seismographs. It became a real problem. He'd show them to young girls in malls, he'd show them in church on Sundays. It became a real problem.

But alas, Hiker is right. It's wrapper Herbert P. Sloan. He was known as the King of Wrap.; March 2, 2011 at 5:25 AM
Petrea Burchard said...: It was either Richter or Sloan. I'm always late.; March 2, 2011 at 6:22 PM
