K. GoulianosMoriond QCD 2015 Early Days Discoveries and Moriond 2 Mostly personal memories from…  MORIOND - 22 attended (why Moriond?)  Flaine, France  Les Arcs  La Plagne  LaThuile  BLOIS / EDS – 11 attended (why Blois?)  Chateau de Blois, France 1985  Rockefeller U, New York, USA 1987  Elba, Italy 1991  Brown U, Providence, USA 1993  Chateau de Blois, France 1995  Pruhonice (Prague), Czech Rep  Helsinki, Finland 2003  Blois, France 2005  Desy, Hamburg, Germany 2007  Quy Nhon, Vietnam 2011  Saariselka, Finland 2013 it’s all about physics & fun It’s about Tran!

K. GoulianosMoriond QCD 2015 Early Days Discoveries and Moriond 4 FLAINE 1976 My first Moriond  My talk: “Exclusive Neutral Currents and  e pairs at BNL” THE MORIOND FORMAT  New/preliminary results  Rubbia (W), Pearl (  ), …  plenty of discussions  from ice skating to skiing!  My first downhill run Ice-skating and short skis for braking Wow!  Extra: the 2-neutrino experiment (talk prepared in 1963)
