After describing his upbringing and undergraduate education in physics at Renesselaer, Bleach reviews his subsequent enrollment in the Ph.D. program in physics at the University of Maryland. He then discusses his work at Goddard while in the Ph.D. program, including initially developing solid state detectors for cosmic ray experiments; moving to an X-ray astronomy group headed by Dr. Elihu Boldt; developing and testing proportional counters in balloons, rockets, and satellites; his thesis on Cygnus X-1 and Uhuru; his work at NRL, including initially building and conducting experiments with detectors for the gamma ray group under HEAO; and his move to laboratory diagnostics.
