Abstract: Abstract My second year in Chicago wasn’t spent in Chicago. Marshall Stone advised me to apply for a Guggenheim fellowship for the year—and I got it, I got it! After all the many Illinois graduate fellowships I didn’t get, not to mention all the prestigious NRC fellowships and named instruc-torships I didn’t get, and skipping over the one-semester fellowship at the Institute that I sort of backed into, I finally got something—I thought of it as the first official recognition I ever received.
