Okay - again a day late as this should have been posted on 8-20-17. I want to honor my father on the 98th anniversary of his birth. When he was born in Schaarbeek, a suburb of Brussels on August 20, 1919, the midwife delivered him with a caul over his head - a piece of the amniotic sac had come with him. According to wive's tales this was the sign of a wise man or a sage. It turned out to be the truth with him. A man with an encyclopedic knowledge of history, an avid life long learner who took Greek and Hebrew lessons well into his eighties, a gifted and beloved chemistry professor and researcher and a wise and loving father who invented stories and read us the classic so they we all developed intense and complex imaginative lives. I am forever grateful to be his daughter - his Mimsy Borogove. Happy Birthday Andre J.
Let me make a guess... Peter, Liz, Joseph, ?, Steve, ANDRé, Mia....
