Abstract
It has been my good fortune to work for two directors, Bob Wilson and Bjoem Wiik, who had vision on directions of future accelerator technology. In 1992, Bjoem Wiik, soon to become Director of DESY, organized an international effort dedicated to a dramatic improvement in performance and cost of accelerating structures based on RF superconductivity. In this paper I will discuss the degree to which this goal has been achieved and the accompanying technology advances. Today, RF superconductivity is the technology of choice for high duty factor, high beam brightness applications and a serious competitor for use in a linear collider.
