Abstract

Memorial sessions celebrated Leon Lederman, Helen Edwards, and Burton Richter at the April 2019 Meeting of the American Physical Society in Denver. In the session entitled Honoring Leon Lederman, Sally Dawson gave an overview of Leon's scientific career, Marge Bardeen reviewed his work in science education, and I spoke of his years as Fermilab Director. This essay is drawn from my lecture.
