[CASL-L] Biography/Memoir categories

[Teri Padua]

Hey,

Years ago I integrated my biographies into the subject area that the
subject of the biography was famous for.  All my sports bios are shelved
with the sport they participated in, actors in movie numbers,
mathematicians in math number etc.  It has worked well for me.
