Abstract
I am honored to have been asked to contribute to this memorial issue, although I cannot claim to have known Carl Woese well. Carl's insights and the discoveries that his research group made over the years certainly stimulated my own research program, and at several points early on, interactions with him were pivotal in my career. Here I comment on these personal dealings with Carl and emphasize his influence in two areas of long-standing interest in my lab: organelle evolution and rRNA evolution.
