He also enjoyed his group at Brookhaven, holding wine tastings, walking tours of New York City, and ski trips to Vermont. He was an extraordinary travel guide, and it was not unusual for members of the Chemistry Department to seek his travel advice and to use his extensive collection of maps of cities throughout the world.
