  Paston Letters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Ten years later the originals of Fenn's third and fourth volumes, with ninety-five unpublished letters, were found at Roydon Hall, Norfolk, the seat of George Frere, the head of the Frere family; and finally in 1889 the originals of the two remaining volumes were discovered at Orwell Park, Ipswich, the residence of Captain EG Pretyman.
Taking Fenn's work as a basis, the aim of the new editor was to include all the letters which had come to light since this publication, and in his careful and accurate work in three volumes (London, 1872-1875) he printed over four hundred letters for the first time.
Sir John Paston (1442-1479) was frequently at the court of King Edward IV, but afterwards he favoured the Lancastrian party, and, with his brother John, fought for Henry VI at the battle of Barnet.

John Paston left at least five sons, the two eldest of wh~om were, curiously enough, both named John, and the eldest of whom had been knighted during his fathers lifetime.
Sir John, who was a cultured man, had shown great anxiety to recover Caister; but in general he had left the conduct of the struggle to his mother and to the younger John.

 The Yale Herald - Jan 30, 2004 - Yale fights with former professor over patent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
John Fenn, a former Yale chemist, fights for his patent on a mass spectrometer.
Fenn did report his invention, but his report came 10 months after releasing a paper about it, and a mere two months before it would be ineligible for patenting.
While it is true that Fenn was less than forthcoming with his opinion on the worth of the patent, de la Mora said that he was hindered by an ongoing investigation of a conflict of interest regarding his outside company, Analytica.

 Spotlight: Shedding spectral light on giant molecules
John Fenn of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, USA, and Koichi Tanaka of the Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan, share half the 10m Swedish Krona prize for their work on methods of suspending proteins and other macromolecules, such as polymers and nucleic acids, for analysis by mass spectrometry.
Fenn began work on devising a method for suspending proteins in a mass spectrometer in the 1980s.
Fenn's method of electrospray ionisation (ESI) was based on "spraying" droplets of protein solution with an electric field and allowing the solvent in which they were dissolved to evaporate.

 JOHN HOOKHAM FRERE - LoveToKnow Article on JOHN HOOKHAM FRERE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
His father, John Frere,a gentleman of agood Suffolk family, had been educated at Caius College, Cambridge, and would have been senior wrangler in 1763 but for the redoubtable competition of Paley; his mother, daughter of John Hookham, a rich London merchant, was a lady of no small culture, accustomed to amuse her leisure with verse-writing.
Frere was strongly of opinion that the bolder was the better course, and he urged his views on Sir John Moore with an urgent and fearless persistency that on one occasion at least overstepped the limits of his commission.
After the disastrous retreat to Corunna, the public accused Frere of having by his advice endangered the British army, and though no direct censure was passed upon his conduct by the government, he was recalled, and the marquess of Wellesley was appointed in his place.

Though John Fenn GRD '40 argued that he had rights to his discovery under the Bayh-Dole Act, a federal patent law, U.S. District Judge Christopher Droney determined that Fenn knew Yale rightfully owned his invention -- a method of mass spectrometry for analyzing large biological molecules -- under the University's official patenting policy.
Fenn said he never intended to deceive the University and is considering an appeal, but he would not comment further on the case, as his attorneys are still examining the implications of the court decision.
