Perhaps the name is coincidental, but some poor PhD by the name of Kenneth Wilson has mananaged to wrangle his name onto the list of AOS-approved taxonomic authorities. http://aos.org/aos/uploadedfiles/docs/taxonomicauthorities.pdf But I'm personally too slothful and stupid to use a telephone to call and ask if he used to work at Purdue. I'm sure it would just be another coincidence anyway.
