DR. G. Vest
"My father, “Dr. G”, was an intellectual force. A respected microbiologist, the FDA would call on his expertise as they considered cases of drug safety. He could identify rhododendron species and hybrids at a glance and give you the lineage for the latter from memory. His recall of voices heard once or twice would astound my sisters and I. When we were teenagers he could recognize Sting or Van Morrison’s voices despite his disdain for Rock and Roll. As for his beloved classical music, his knowledge was encyclopedic."
