| Introduction | I can't remember a time Science wasn't part of my life. At age 8 I had a fossil collection and was etching limestone with HCL to recover better specimins. At 10 I had a paraffin dissecting pan and tools as well as a killing bottle. At 11 I helped my dad wind the welding transformer from copper wire and laminations and build our 240/120 dual tap welder core, then weld the frame to hold it. We also built a carbon arc cutting torch. At 13, I got my adult library card, temp drivers license and work permit, started working for $.65 an hour and started building my chem lab in the basement. By the time I was 19 and a Sophmore in Engineering, I realized I didn't have time to use the lab, sold it for about $1000. That same summer, I did my first research project (on waste water treatment) for a major refinery. Currently retired after an international career including process control, waste treatment, control programing and debugging; currently consulting, mostly specializing in control design and upgrade in metal plating and etching industry. |
