Fritz Will also did everything by the book, and got a swift kick in the ass
as a reward. When I met him years later he was still bewildered. He used
the very words I used, "I shopped around the results, and no one would
believe them!" He was not used to being dissed. His correspondence is in
the U. Utah library special collection. It is heartbreaking.

He and Martin did not get along. He is reportedly a proud, stubborn man.
But in his correspondence you see him doing the best he can for the people
in the CF institute, so I felt for him.
