It is a high honor to be invited to give this first Brindley Memorial Lecture. I view it as taking the first step on a ladder, to be followed by suceeeding talks that climb higher to the pinnacle that George Brindley erected for us in clay mineralogy. If George were with us, he would be sitting on the front row, as usual, keeping the speakers and audience "honest" in our deliberations. In turn, I would be privileged to ask him personally to enlighten us with his valued opinion on the many questions I will be asking in this talk.
