title: A fragmented memoir.
abstract: The following reminiscence by John Moossy is the first in what isintended to be an ongoing, albeit irregular, series published in the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology. Autobiographies are being solicited from senior members of the neuropathology community, who have been noted leaders and contributors to neuroscience and to the American Association of Neuropathologists, and who have a historical perspective of the importance of neuropathology in diagnosis, education, and research. It also helps when they have interacted with other interesting people and can narrate as well as John Moossy does. It is hoped that this series will entertain, enlighten, and present members of the American Association of Neuropathologists with a better sense of the legacy that we have inherited, as well as reintroduce our iconic neuroscientists as humans having interesting lives filled with joys and sorrows the same as all of us.MNH, RAS.
