Abstract: It has been my good fortune to have been involved in the information science field continuously from 1945 to the present. It all started with my final military assignment to the Air Documents Research Office in London. This experience exposed me to the state of information handling at that time. It opened up for me an interest, latent for a few years, in the contribution that could be made by an emerging information technology. Since that time I gained experience at Essex Chemicals (research chemist), Interscience Publishers (scientific editor), M.I.T. (research associate), Battelle Memorial Institute (principal documentation engineer), Western Reserve University, and the University of Pittsburgh. Early in 1986, Donald Kraft invited me to submit a contribution to JASZS on historical perspectives for the 1987 fiftieth anniversary of the Society. I submitted a list of events in my professional career which were of significance to me. Perspectives on those chosen follow.
