From Yossi Schlessinger: Elson and I have very similar memories from the meeting in Ayelet Hashahar. I have attached a picture I found of the guest house (that does not exist anymore) where the conference took place and where we first met. I recall that Harold Scheraga attended the meeting and that Elkan Blout took color Polaroid pictures, which was very impressive. I knew this area very well because I served there before and after the Six Days War as well as during and after the Yom Kippur War at the Golan Heights as a reserve officer from October 1973 until March 1974; for two months my post was 20–25 miles away from Damascus. It was real tough to go back and do science after the war, and I was very happy to join and do science in your laboratory; it was among the finest chapters in my life. From Eliot Elson: I vividly remember the meeting at Ayelet Hashahar and watching the explosions on the hills not that far away. I also was impressed that every evening a number of young soldiers would arrive at the kibbutz, park their rifles, and eagerly ask what were the interesting talks of that day. Also impressive was the arrival of the President of Israel (Ephraim Katzir, a renowned biophysicist) who listened to the talks just like all the other participants. He arrived in a modest black car, as I recall, accompanied by a couple of tough-looking young men that we speculated were his body guards. At least, they seemed not so interested in the talks.
