Preserve Walter Munk’s house for science
I am an oceanographer from Cambridge University in England, and like hundreds of other oceanographers worldwide, I was a personal friend of Walter Munk and found him to be the greatest inspiration for my career as a scientist.
More than a living legend, he was a living god to us lesser scientists. Many is the time that we have stayed in Seiche [Munk’s La Jolla home] and learned directly from Walter how he built the house with his own hands and to the design of his [then-]wife, Judith, whose sculptures adorn the walls.
