Elio Schaechter was one of my heroes. His 1958 paper with Ole Maaløe and Niels Kjeldgaard (fondly known as “SMK”) is a North Star for so much work in my group. A wonderful scientist, great communicator, and a very kind person. May his memory be a blessing.

Making my late MILs famous chocolate poundcake. She sent every child and grandchild one wrapped in an entire box of plastic film on their birthdays. Not difficult to make, dense and chocolatey, lasts forever, delicious with ice cream, highly recommend.
