My oldest son, Peter, successfully completed his work to earn a PhD in neuroscience yesterday at the California Institute of Technology.
I got the news in a text message from him while I was in a business meeting in San Jose. I held my emotions in check, given the environment, but inside, I started remembering him as a child -- happy, precocious, strong.
Such an athletic little boy, but always also insatiably curious.
Always has loved the outdoors, whether hiking, playing sports, or surfing off the coast.
Fearless -- as an athlete.
Relentless and persistent, when solving problems, in math or science.
Caring, sweet, big-hearted about people.
My oldest son, Dr. Peter Thomas Weir. I could not be prouder.
