Quote of the Day: I Am What I Am And That's What I Am (and Have Always Been)
Gregg ("3 G's") Schneider wrote the following comment: Mason was always very precise and dryly funny. When he was 9 years old, he would leave a message on our answering machine..and say it was "Mason A. Porter". This was so I could distinguish him from Mason B. Porter, I presumed.
As you can see, I haven't changed a bit. (Just ask anybody who has ever written a paper with me.)
I googled "Mason B. Porter" (with quotes) but couldn't find a person by that name. I did, however, locate a Mason C. Porter (at findagrave.com, no less!).
