APS LEGEND: TO BE OR NOT TO BE THAT WAS THE QUESTION

A year ago, sometime around Black Friday, I received an email from Prof. Erdem Topsakal, who was contacting me on behalf of the IEEE/APS Society to ask whether I was willing to accept an invitation to be one of the Legends of the AP Society. I wasn't sure what it took to qualify to be a Legend of AP-S, and how I happened to make the grade, but I wasn't going to ask too many questions, or to look a gift horse in the mouth. So, I jumped at his offer and responded, as fast as I could, by saying, "Yes, I would, count me in! Please tell me what I have to do." Erdem was equally quick with his reply and he came back with, "Nothing much, but just agree to be interviewed by an IEEE/AP-S team, who will videotape the interview and release the video through Social Media.
