... From a tarpaper shack near the badlands of South Dakota to an elegant home in Lafayette; from a one-room school to a high school student who did not have the funds for college to a doctoral degree at MIT in 2½ years; from a farming family of eight children whose father did not trust educated people to an eminent professorship at the University of California, Berkeley -- Joe traveled a long, hard road with incredible success. As his colleagues we stand in grateful appreciation of his friendship, and of the gracious, kind, humble, and generous person that was Joseph Penzien.
