  I recall my "first hour" events following on my meeting in Fall 1968 in the
classroom with my academic teacher and thesis mentor Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.
multiple Walter Greiner. My comments focus on the creation of the new "strong
fields" domain of physics in Frankfurt. I argue that this was the research
field closest to Walter's heart during his lustrous academic career. I will
describe the events that lead on to Greiner's course books, Walters actions
leading to the rise of Frankfurt School of Theoretical Physics, and show how a
stability principle defined his science.
