A story from Susanni Ngarian:

I first met Dr. Drell during my job interview on November 1st, 2016. He asked about pronouncing my name and how he should address me. I said to him "Just call me Su" and he laughed. OK, he said, "call me Sid" and from then on he called me Su and I called him Sid. I truly loved working with Sid. He was indeed a remarkable person. A true pioneer and an expert in the field of nuclear nonproliferation, Dr. Sidney Drell left behind a legacy for many of us to continue the great work he was so committed in and the great cause he had been fighting for for so long.
