Rhonda Lynette Andrews was recognized by several of her contemporaries as "one of the three truly great perishables analysts of the twentieth century," an assessment fully supported by her published works. Born in Groves, Texas, in 1953, Rhonda displayed from a very early age an intense interest in the physical world around her. Not only the familiar household pets like cats and dogs, but also the myriad "backyard" animal life of the Texas Gulf Coast became regular objects of her childhood fascination. Nurtured by her parents, this keen interest in "things living," as she put it, persisted and was amplified in her early education. It blossomed and expanded during her high-school years in England at the American School of London. During her secondary education, Rhonda was an avid reader of a broad and deep array of subjects, not the least of which were popular and more technical treatments of history and archaeology. She also traveled extensively during that period, visiting such "exotic" locations as Crete and Tanzania. Upon graduation in 1972, Rhonda returned to the United States to pursue a degree in anthropology. Her choice of anthropology as a career was based on a belief that it was far and away the most eclectic of the sciences, and that its breadth and numerous possibilities for interaction with other fields like biology, geology, and history most closely paralleled her own catholic scholarly interests. Literally from the outset of her undergraduate education, Rhonda showed the same intense interest in a variety of natural and physical sciences that she had as a child. Enrolled initially at the University of Pittsburgh in an experimental undergraduate program that allowed and encouraged students to
