Clifford Swartz

This photo, from the 1962 yearbook, shows Cliff looking almost as youthful as he does today.  Cliff was a staff member at Brookhaven Lab, and joined the faculty at Stony Brook at the very beginning, maintaining for a while his research effort at Brookhaven in experimental particle physics.  Teaching soon became the greater passion.  Cliff has trained several generations of Long Island physics teachers, and has been editor of the magazine The Physics Teacher for most of its existence.  Although he officially retired from the faculty in 1995, only in the spring of  2000 did he announce that he would retire as editor.  It will surely be impossible to replace him.
