My parents, Sarah and Stan, in addition to sharing their genomes with me and with my brothers, told me about our family history and never wavered in their support. Bill Rebeck put me up and put up with me for many nights in Washington, D.C. I will have to find other excuses to visit and annoy him.
And to Ann and to the best things ever connected to my genome, Stella and Lena: thank you, girls. Again.
