Ah, that's the problem of going into the same profession as your father,
but it is not a problem to me. I answer to Robert or Bill, although I
prefer my own name.

A few years ago I was in Cambridge, English, walking through the stacks at
the library. Someone I had never seen before in my life walked up to me and
said, "Aren't you Robert Mounce's boy?" To this day I still have no idea
how he figured it out; I don't even look like my dad.
