Abe Taub in late winter 1978 sharing a birthday cake with then postdoc Frank Tipler (same birthday!), while Abe's close friend and visiting professor for the semester Andre' Lichnerowicz opened a bottle of wine. In the background are passing visitor Larry Smarr behind Abe, Professor Jerry Marsden, grad student Bob Jantzen, visitor for the year John Barrow, an unknown student (?) and Professor Murray Protter.
