Abstract
In this Account, I will describe the discoveries of a series of stable quasicrystals in which I participated during the past 15 years. These discoveries led to a paradigm shift in the field of quasicrystals. The story started when I was a graduate student, has continued into the present, and may continue into the future. Of these discoveries, some were made independently by myself and some in collaboration with my colleagues. As it happens, I am the only one related to all of these discoveries, and so it seems appropriate that I tell the stories.
