       We have been unbelievably fortunate in having Dr. Charles Greer as science advisor.  Projecting into the future in a plausible way, requires accurate, up-to-date science.  Dr. Greer has been extremely generous with his support for the ideas inherent in "Drones, Clones and Pheromones" and faithful in keeping us realistic. To our view that makes the finest science fiction.
