✦ Synopsis

The events that led to the establishment of organic and biochemical mass spectrometry at MIT by the author in 1958, and its growth over the past three and one-half decades are briefly chronicled. A major emphasis is placed on the work with graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who were educated in the field and in turn further contributed to the training of others. An attempt is made at the construction of a genealogy encompassing - 7 to + 2 generations (the author representing 0).
