A friend and nieghbor passed away last Monday. Willy of course discovered the lyme causing bacteria. My best memories of him go back to my childhood rather than professionally. My sister worked for him preparing slides. They didn't wear space suits in those days and she contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (named for the labs) He frequently visited her while in St. Patricks Hospital. One of those days was St Pats Day. I can still remeber my dad trying to explain to him why even the mashed potatoes were green.
