Sorry, I have absolutely nothing to contribute to you Ed2015 simulation. But...
How very amusing -- perhaps, astonishing -- to discover anyone else in the world sharing my name. "Roger" is none too common in the U.S. (not as compared to England).
And "Keeling," I thought, is none too common anywhere. There are a few of us around the U.S., to be sure. A bunch in Knoxville, TN, where the genealogy says a bunch of us landed prior to the Civil War. Some in Illinois where my lineage comes from. And presumably considerably more in England (where the name means something like "little cod"), where we all came from.
In the public domain, there is the "Keeling Curve," the most precise existing measure of carbon dioxide buildup in the atmosphere (but I've talked to THAT Keeling, down at Scripps Institute near San Diego...he was adopted. So no reflected glory on our family).
Anyhow, glad you're an accomplished academic. My brother, Tom, taught at UC Los Angeles and UC Santa Barbara before going to Stanford, getting a law degree, and becoming a corporate type. My brother Brian is managing editor of "The Industrial-Labor Relations Review" at Cornell University in upstate New York.
I'm a writer who, when not cranking out fundraising letters for environmental and progressive non-profits, works on a book about liberalism and the scientific method. (Don't hold your breath. I'm the clear underachiever in this family).
Anyhow, wanted to say how nice it is to see who shares my name doing stuff of merit and real content.
By the way...don't suppose anyone in your family has done a genealogy? Not a passion of mine, but I do have quite a bit on ours, and it tends to deadend not long before the family came from England in about (I think) 1740 or so.
Best regards!
