Abstract
As Victor McKusick’s identical twin (or his DNA identical brother as he sometimes called me with technical exactitude), I write here of our family background and of our bringing up together on a Maine dairy farm.
Note: For inclusion as an Introductory Essay in the forthcoming book, “Victor McKusick and the Development of Medical Genetics” edited by Dr. Krishna Dronamraju.
