I just realized that I had posted on this about three weeks ago but rather than erase it, I think it needs attention.
The Birkmayers (W & JD) were German. I suspect that W was father and JD son because W has 172 papers to his credit at PubMed. JD has just two - the one you read here and a companion one published the same year. W , with his 172 papers, built up a larger body of work. But these two papers were numbers 162 and 163. His career was just about over, whether he knew it or not.
So what happened to the Birkmeyers?
