Your message regarding Arthur Cotton Moore

I edited the page for Arthur Cotton Moore under the "Personal Life" section. I am his son and I added the information that this is the case. This is mentioned in the obituary. If you look up the Wikipedia article on me - Greg Moore (American Physicist) - you will actually see a link back to the ACM Wikipedia page. Please restore the line I wrote, or use the Washington Post obituary as citation, or add the link to my Wikipedia page. I have never edited the page about me, and I do not intend to unless someone puts inaccurate information there.

Sincerely, Gregory Moore
