He made a personal call of support to our home when my husband's name landed in the local newspaper for questioning the wisdom of turning the local school system upside down with forced busing. It meant a lot since Dr. Teller was a bigwig where my husband worked (Lawrence Radiation Lab) as a young engineer just out of school. Other people at work shunned my husband for speaking out publically with what everyone else was saying privately, as they scurried to move their children to private schools, or out of town.
