In a one-room schoolhouse he daydreamed about space while the teacher was with other grades. He was told in middle school that he could never go to college because his family was too poor. That just made him more determined. As a teenager he worked delivering newspapers, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, shining shoes and any job he could get to contribute to the family until he could join the Navy. An all expense paid tour of the western Pacific on an Aircraft Carrier introduced him to other cultures. Upon being honorably discharged from the Navy he worked two jobs, or one job and College classes, to eventually get a BS in Physics and an MBA after nine years. He eventually retired after stints working on the Space Shuttle, Administrator of the Space Sciences Laboratory and instructing at Technical Colleges.view less
