 Another person that contributed a lot to Erie and who I just saw last week was Quancha Gomez. I give her a lot of credit for the rigor and quality of research that came out of Erie in those days. She helped us design the rather sophisticated replicated yield trials that we use to evaluate the products of this you know of this enhanced systematic breeding program and that again was modeled after somewhat after CEMET but rice is a much you know a more challenging crop to test in yield trials and she designed a very sensitive what we call a quadruple lattice design that really did a good job of differentiating among genotypes and then she helped us a lot with the management of the data for the international rice testing program you know designed the appropriate analyses that allowed us to get results out in a hurry I remember I had an arrangement with her she had one of the first portable computers it was a Wang system Wang the Americans would say but you know it was a Wang system which you know was pretty big for a portable computer you but at least you could roll it around the room and in those days that I really you know admired that machine I remember that was in the early 70s or maybe mid 70s and so she she could turn out an analysis you know in in just a matter of minutes which you know what was you have to remember those were the days when you know we were just graduating from these mechanical you know Marchand and Monroe adding machines basically they could also do the four functions but you know we've done as a graduate suited I've done statistical analysis on those and you know analysis the variants could take all day running the sums of the squares and everything and being you know I was so impressed with that and and you know so people would send in their data and then being you know we would send back the results and they were so impressed that that's what allowed that testing program to grow so rapidly and get so many enthusiastic cooperators so I give her a lot of a lot of credit I would even say that you know the detection of IR 36 which was one of the most successful varieties of the era when I worked which was a team effort and the selection but I think we would have never seen it and if it hadn't been for the yield trials that she designed because it was not an attractive variety it was a very open habit early and the birds would get on it fast and you know so it wasn't easy to just spot it with your eye
