“Dear George,” 1967

This is a congratulatory letter that Edgar Altenburg, long of the Biology Department, sent to English Professor George Williams, praising him effusively (it’s a bit much, surely) for a piece that appeared in the Rice University Review:

I never got as far as the article he’s talking about because I was stopped in my tracks by the address on the stationery:

Genetics Laboratory

2480 Times Boulevard

Uh . . .  what?

I’ve never heard a whisper of this before. I don’t even know enough to know what to ask, but if anyone can tell me about this genetics lab in the middle Rice Village please do.

Bonus: Winter berries.
