Abstract

Every invention and discovery has its own roots. This article will describe my personal experiences and encountered with Emmett Leith; as an inventor and his technological break through for the discovery of Laser-Holography. The legacy of his discovery, outgrowth from, and development, will also be shown. A tribute to Yuri Denisyuk, who has just passed away, is also included.
