Information for Junior Flavinistas
Vincent Massey Junior Investigators Award
"Vince, to all who knew him—lived life very fully. Carol Strickland, the wife of a former graduate student of Vince’s, captured his vitality when she said: “The stop-flow might have been Vince’s favorite research tool, but in life he was all flow without stop. I can still see Vince, his eyes twinkling, practically chomping the stem of his pipe in two as he guffawed at something that struck him as funny. What a bon vivant he was! Whatever he did, he did full-bore, ‘sucking all the marrow out of life,’ as Thoreau put it" - Charles Williams and David Ballou
