About This Document: Irwin Gross, a former president of the Philadelphia chapter of the American Technion Society, said he had a feeling there was something prize-worthy about [Dan Shechtman]'s work when the professor first contacted him to solicit funding. Though an attorney by training, Gross said his experience working on high-tech start-ups gave him enough insight to recognize the breakthroughs Shechtman was making. "Honest to God, I said, 'You know what, this guy's going to get a Nobel Prize,' " recalled Gross, who now lives in Boca Raton, FIa. Of course, Gross said, when he shared his prediction with friends, "they said, 'Yeah, yeah.' "
