Re:Tech Writing: The Second Generation

[Nora von Gerichten <wlg -at- pacificcoast -dot- net>]

My father worked on many of the manuals for the US nuclear reactors between 
1966 and his death in 1985.  When he died, we had to go through each of 
them, because he had a bad habit of using his pay cheques for 
bookmarks.  Then we had to be careful to shred all of them before we put 
them in the Berkeley dump.

My great grandfather was quite involved with cataloguing the iconographic 
meaning behind churches with Georg Dehio, which has evolved into a major 
German project called the Dehio Project.

My great great grandfather wrote a couple of major published thesis on 
plant seeds and their geometric forms in relation to Plato's geometric 
solids (also incorporated some of Kepler's stuff).  That one surprised me 
greatly, as I did not know this until after I wrote my Master's thesis 
using the same info.  Decided geometry interests may be genetic. ;-]
