Dear Josh:

"A pathologist does not a geneticist make."

I made that up myself, but I think it's pretty
good.

What about this doctor in Hartford? It has been
my understanding that first cousins can safely
marry. My phySician friends have told me for
years that the children of first cousins are no
nuttier than the kids of non-related parents.

Please, Josh, a sentence or two from you?

Warm regards,
