The New York Revelations
Prologue
Part 1: Dr. Leonard L. Hofstadter, PhD.
Dr. Leonard L. Hofstadter (the "L." is for Leakey; his father, an anthropologist, was a colleague) is a experimental physicist at Princeton University. Dr. Hofstadter's area of expertise is the study of lasers in both clinical/medical and military applications. Dr. Hofstadter began his affiliation with Princeton nearly five years ago after holding a similar position at CalTech for over nine years.
His research and studies have gained attention in academic circles both in the United States and overseas. As his career continues, it will not be a surprise if Dr. Hofstadter's work receives the ultimate recognition, a Nobel Prize.
Dr. Hofstadter has performed without equal at both institutions. The reason for the change from CalTech to Princeton is not documented, which leads to the conclusion that it was a personal matter. Dr. Hofstadter retains very close relationships with former friends and colleagues in Pasadena. Although he was romantically involved with an aspiring actress on the west coast, that no longer appears to be the case.
In all matters both personal and professional, Dr. Hofstadter has always acted beyond reproach and is a solid citizen and representative of the institution. In fact at Princeton, Dr. Hofstadter has been assigned the task of representing the University in meetings with current and prospective donors. His personality and success in his field are attractive attributes when "courting dollars". To date, Dr. Hofstadter has not disappointed the administration in this endeavor.
Part 2: Penelope L. Wyatt.
Penelope L. Wyatt (it is not known what the "L." is for. She has stated on different occasions that it is for "Elll-enore", "Ellll-Camino", "Ellll-len" and many other similar answers) is an actress. It is a stage name. Her actual name is also unknown and friends who would know are not providing this information. Ms. Wyatt struggled for many years before receiving her "big-break".
While waiting for steady acting roles, she was a waitress at the Pasadena, CA Cheesecake Factory. The only acting jobs during this time were a production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" above a bowling alley and a hemorrhoid commercial.
Things began to change in this respect when Ms. Wyatt began appearing in regional theatre productions. Her role as Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire" drew the attention of the producers of a situation comedy that was set to be produced in the spring of 2013. She won the role of the best friend of the female lead. Although the sit-com lasted less than a full season, Ms. Wyatt's performance won critical acclaim. She has since moved to New York City and has appeared in revival productions of both "Streetcar" and "The Death of a Salesman", reprising her role as Ms. DuBois in the former and performing that of Linda Lohman in the latter, in each case again to the praise of critics.
In Pasadena, Ms. Wyatt enjoyed the camaraderie of a close-knit group of friends in the local collegiate community. She had been in fact romantically involved with a scientist from CalTech, but that is no longer the case.
