MIT's Building 20: The Magical Incubator Story, Anecdote, or Reminiscence

Fond Memories Even After 39 1/2 Years

Elaine and Alfred Appelbaum

We were saddened to learn that the rumors were true. Building 20 is finally coming down! We both retain fond memories of the years we were employed in this famous structure -- Elaine as a secretary in the Building 20 Air Force ROTC office and Alfred as a Research Assistant in RLE. We left there about 39 1/2 years ago, but have never forgotten our time in that place.
