As a chemist, the guardian of this URL has held it since the year 2000. At that time, there were only two remaining periodic table of the elements, "element" dot com's available: hafnium.com and rutherfordium.com. With the great history of Ernest Rutherford in Canada, this Canadian felt with pride the need to acquire the domain name: rutherfordium, the 104th element in the periodic table of the elements.
My lineage to Ernest Rutherford goes through Marc Marcolin (General Manager, Cominco, Trail, BC) to Selwyn Blaylock (President, CM&S, Trail, BC) to Ernest Rutherford.
Marc Marcolin and his wife Grace were good acquaintances of mine. Marc, a General Manager at Cominco worked in his early days under Selwyn Blaylock. Selwyn studied at McGill University and was influenced by the work of Ernest Rutherford, a pioneer in nuclear research who had been chair of the McGill Physics Department.
