ABSTRACT: For the past half-century, I have been fortunate in maintaining
collaborations with Czech scientists in the Czech Republic [formerly Czechoslovakia]
from the Geofyzikální ústav-GFU [Institute of Geophysics] of the ?eskoslovenská
Akademie Věd-?SAV [Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences]. These collaborations have
included exchange visits by me to Prague [Praha] and convening international workshops
in 1976, 1986 and 1996 in castles used by the ?SAV as well as visits by Czech
colleagues to Stony Brook University. The objective of this report is to relate
this history. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Vladislav Babu?ka.
