I WISH TO THANK THE following persons for help with critiques, corrections, and additions to this and an earlier account (Davis, 2007), the latter including the contributions of Dorothy Newmeyer Perkins: Namboori Raju, Charles Yanofsky, David Jacobson, Barbara Turner, Susan Perkins, and the late Robert Metzenberg. The photo of David Perkins was taken by Jonathan Wittenberg in 1978, and was provided to me by N. Raju. It is used, with thanks, by permission of Dr. Wittenberg.

2. Sadly, Bob Metzenberg, another creative and influential geneticist of the Neurospora group, died in 2007 at the age of 77, as did David Stadler, whose contributions greatly illuminated the study of recombination and mutation in Neurospora. The Neurospora community is thus further and significantly diminished. |
