I can't think of any relatives that ever went into science.

At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.

Later in the fifties I got involved in kinetic studies using my long forgotten math background.

To my father, business was the highest calling, but to my mother, medicine was the top profession.

At the time my dog had a fungus on her chest that wouldn't heal and resisted treatment. I made an ointment with our product and it cleared up in two days. She lived to 17 years.

Tired with all these, for restful death I cry.
