My dad doesnt like religion much, but I grew up very close to the Baptist tradition. God isnt this distant thing. God is right here with you all the time. Hes your buddy, and you can talk about everything. – Lucy Alibar
My dad, like many Southern men, is this very emotionally expressive person who isnt as articulate in words about his feelings as he is with breaking a chair or something like that. – Lucy Alibar

Dad was a chemistry professor at Saint Olaf College in Minnesota, then Oxford College in Minnesota, and a very active member of the American Chemical Society education committee, where he sat on the committee with Linus Pauling, who had authored a very phenomenally important textbook of chemistry. – Peter Agre
