Yes! I can't seem to find a copy of the article. But going on your
description and the figures, it looks like an excellent example of treating

I find this discussion very provocative in the best way as well. When I
was working on the problem of helping researchers visualize the Gene
Ontology, we were trying to do several things at once, though I'm not
sure we were that clear on that as we did it. We were a small

Dear Friammers,
The subject line is the title of an article I am thinking about writing for
the Annals of Geriatric Maundering, and I want your help. If you think

advancing my career, you are, of course exactly correct.

have read it in the evening. When I read the name "Kayser" of the grandparents
I thought they must have a German background, since "Kaiser" is the German word

Your kids, and especially your grandchildren, will so appreciate this kind of
memoir. Often, local historical societies welcome a copy too, because the

or diaries. Personal journals are priceless. The part on

I'm glad to see a resurgence of interest in your memoir. It is a
testimony to the ease of self-publication that you were able to do this
so well and seamlessly. I don't know what kind of editing help you had

Thanks for your comments, Jochen and Pam. When he mentions the quotation
on pages 6 and 7 Jochen is referring to a journal my great-grandmother

As for appreciation by family members, some of my cousins were thrilled.
