| Astronomy: | Since 1957 when my father bought
my 1st telescope to show Sputnik to the neighbors. I was 9 at the
time. Since then, I have degrees in Astrophysics from Univ of AZ and I
have worked on several of the Pioneer spacecraft in the 1970's, as well
as working at Kitt Peak National Observatory for 2 years.
I keep a small refractor
in the dining room for quick outside observing sessions.
