I went to Corvallis OSU last October to take portraits of a biochemistry professor from the Linus Pauling Institute for a Neutrogena website. They have a big section of their library dedicated to Linus Pauling, and a special display with his desk and some of his personal items, including his two nobel medals, one for chemistry and the other one is a nobel peace medal.They were kind enough at the library to let me hold the actual medal! This was a once in a lifetime moment, as I don't think I'll ever get to hold another one...
