Norma Neff attended the Bacterial Genetics Course in 1977 and recalled and entered the following story on CSHL's "Memory Board," "War stories at the Page Motel - This course was memorable not only for its education in transposition and cloning technology but also for several notable nights. John Roth was the favorite instructor of many of the students... He was frequently found at night sitting outside the Page Motel telling scientific stories as if around a campfire."
