A short, biased history of triggered activity.
This manuscript is one man's view of the early days of triggered activity. It is a biased view, representing my personal recollections tempered by revisiting the literature. I have prepared the manuscript in this fashion to satisfy the charge of the editors to recall a part of history during which I lived and to which, in some small way, I contributed. It is possible and indeed likely that another individual writing on this topic would remember differently, which of course contributes to the intrigue of history.
