. The Past‐President's Address has been the opportunity for the speaker to reminisce about the road traveled to get to this time in life. In this paper, I continue in that tradition. During my journey to the present day, I visited different laboratories, studying the genetics of mating and mating types in Paramecium, Tetrahymena, Blepharisma and Euplotes . I have met and worked with many distinguished scientists, including other Past‐Presidents of the Society. I also became an active participant in the Society of Protozool‐ogists. I hope the recounting of my trip will be both entertaining and enlightening.
