In the late '70's or early '80's (I'd have to look to be sure) I enrolled in a course through Tufft's University but held at the CASVA at MIT titled "The Art of Holography" taught by Harriet. I took the course on a whim because years earlier I had seen a hologram of a bust of Alfred Hitchcock somewhere and was fascinated by the image. Although the class was only a few weeks long, meeting and being instructed by Harriet made a life lasting impression on me. Her energy and dedication to her art fired my immagination and I recall long conversations with her about the direction holograms would take in the future. I remember seeing my first white light hologram on a credit card, and wondered what Harriet thought about that. In all of our conversations about the "art" I don't recall commerce being part of the equation. Anyway, I just wanted to express my condolences to her family and friends and this was the first site that I found that would allow me to do that. It may not be the right place but it's what I found. She was Absolutley Fabulous. Rick Joyce P.S. I think I have some snapshots from that time. If I can find them and anyone wants to see them e mail me.
