Transient Intermediates in Enzymology, 1964–2008

I was born to John and Inez Frey in Plain City, Ohio, on November 14, 1935, and I received primary and secondary education in the local public schools. My father worked in seasonally complementary trades as a sheep shearer and painting contractor. He hired me in the contracting business during school breaks through junior and senior high school and college. He instilled in me the values of hard work and uncompromising honesty, which have served me well. My mother managed the local office of the General Telephone Company.
