[Histonet] A poem

[Esther Peters]

I got a copy of that from my mentor, Paul Yevich, Chief Histopathologist 
at the USEPA Environmental Research Laboratory, some 30ish years ago, 
which I keep posted in my lab. I'm glad it will now be preserved forever 
on the Internet so we can all get a fresh copy when the paper crumbles!
