The Return to Our Alma Mater
回到我們大學的母校
In 1972, under the U.S. National Science Foundation’s support, Leon took his first sabbatical leave from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to teach at our alma mater in Taiwan for nine months. In contrast to previously flying solo from the East to the West in the 1950s, this time our three-generation family of seven, including Leon’s parents, flew together over the Pacific Ocean. We toured Hawaii and Tokyo, then visited relatives in Hong Kong, before finally arriving in Taiwan. The world now seemed more fun and friendly.
