Resumo

"You can observe a lot by watching"American baseball hero and muddled sayings ?author Yogi Berra. Greatness observed is a privilege for the observer. I knew, admired, and appreciated Emmett Leith for many years and observed a lot about him. Here I propose to share some of what I have learned by watching Emmett. He had only one true peer--Yuri Denisyuk--who shared the adventure of inventing modern holography and was his good friend. Both were great and beloved men, but Emmett was funnier. I miss them both very much.
