# Alice McLerran

Alice McLerran (born Alice van Kleek Enderton; 1933–2019) was an American anthropologist and author.

## Biography

Alice van Kleek Enderton was born in West Point, New York, on June 24, 1933. Her father, Herbert Enderton, was a Colonel in the U.S. Army. In 1950, the family lived in Quito, Ecuador, where Enderton served as military attaché to the U.S. embassy. While there, McLerran befriended art dealer Luce de Peron and her later husband, painter Oswaldo Guayasamín.
McLerran enrolled at Stanford University in 1951. In 1953, she married Henry Anderson, with whom she had three children: Stephen, David, and Rachel.
In 1961, she enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, where she finished her undergraduate studies and entered the PhD. program in anthropology. Her advisor was Prof. John Rowe. McLerran's thesis project sought to establish a chronology of pre-Columbian civilizations in the northern highlands of Ecuador. To do this, in 1968–1969 she returned to Ecuador and excavated a number of graves in Carchi Province, recovering and reassembling the pottery, analyzing the pottery styles, and using radiocarbon dating to establish their age.
After finishing her PhD. in 1969, McLerran taught anthropology for three years at the State University of New York, Cortland. In 1973, she moved to Boston where she studied at the Harvard School of Public Health, receiving M.P.H and M.S. degrees in 1974. She worked with Lester Grinspoon on research in psychiatric epidemiology at Massachusetts Mental Hospital.
In 1976, she married Larry McLerran, then a physicist postdoc at MIT, whose subsequent career took them to at a number of physics research labs and departments: SLAC, University of Washington, Fermilab, University of Minnesota, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and University of Washington again.
During these travels, McLerran began writing children's books. Her first book, The Mountain that Loved a Bird, was published in 1985. The first edition was illustrated by Eric Carle. It was later published in 24 languages, and with other illustrators. Roxaboxen, illustrated by Barbara Cooney, was published in 1991. It tells the true story of a hill in Yuma, Arizona, where McLerran's mother and her friends created a play town in 1915. As a result of the book, the area was made into a city park in 2000, and an annual Roxaboxen Festival was celebrated.
McLerran died on November 17, 2019, in Seattle.

# Andrew Kay

Andrew F. Kay (January 22, 1919 – August 28, 2014) was a businessman and innovator. He was President and CEO of Kaypro, a personal computer company, which at one time was the world's fourth largest manufacturer of computers, and the largest in the world in sales of portable computers.
Kay, a 1940 graduate of MIT, started his career with Bendix followed by two years at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In 1952, Kay founded Non-Linear Systems, a manufacturer of digital instrumentation. NLS developed a reputation for providing rugged durability in critical applications for everything from submarines to spacecraft. At NLS he invented the digital voltmeter, in 1952.
He founded Kaypro Corporation in 1982, which sold computers. In 1985, it had more than $120 million in revenue, dwarfing what had been its parent, NLS. But the company's success was relatively short-lived; in 1990 it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and it was liquidated in 1992.
In the late 1990s, Kay founded Kay Computers, which similarly manufactured and sold personal computers. The company lasted for less than ten years.
Kay later was a Senior Business Advisor to Accelerated Composites, LLC.
He co-founded the Rotary Club of Del Mar, California.
Andrew Kay died at age 95 in August of 2014.

# Bis(chloroethyl) ether

Bis(chloroethyl) ether is an organic compound with the formula O(CH$_2$CH$_2$Cl)$_2$. It is an ether with two 2-chloroethyl substituents. It is a colorless liquid with the odor of a chlorinated solvent.

## Reactions and applications

Bis(chloroethyl) ether is less reactive than the corresponding sulfur mustard S(CH$_2$CH$_2$Cl)$_2$. In the presence of base, it reacts with catechol to form dibenzo-18-crown-6:
Bis(chloroethyl) ether can be used in the synthesis of the cough suppressant fedrilate. It is combined with benzyl cyanide and two molar equivalents of sodamide in a ring-forming reaction. When treated with strong base, it gives divinyl ether, an anesthetic:
    O(CH$_2$CH$_2$Cl)$_2$ + 2 KOH → O(CH=CH$_2$)$_2$ + 2 KCl + 2 H$_2$O

## Toxicity

The LD$_{50}$ is 74 mg/kg (oral, rat). Bis(chloroethyl) ether is considered as a potential carcinogen.
