Oliver’s wife (Caroline) and children (Hope, Sirikka, W. Kyle, J. D., N. Kumar, Oliver, Judith, Sharon and Suzanne) were both patient and understanding as he ignored other responsibilities to seek an understanding of the origin and evolution of the solar system and the composition and source of luminosity of the Sun.
