It was about 1980 at a meeting of the Cincinnati Pathologists when I met Rebecca Moss and learned about Diagnostic Virology Services, a new laboratory on the Cincinnati side of Dayton. I learned that it was operated by Rebecca and her husband, Howard, with a staff that included trained technologists. They provided full hospital virological services.

I was retiring as a hospital pathologist and on Rebecca’s invitation visited the Moss’s laboratory. There I met Howard and saw the opportunity to learn much more virology. This led to working from one day to weeks at a time for the years that the lab continued under the Mosses.

My association with Howard and Rebecca led to a close friendship, more commonly with Howard on our weekend runs in various events locally. We both profited physically and an occasionally an award came our way. "

Thank you,
