Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Nerd

Picture
Since the Labor Day weekend marks the turn of the year from the light hearted playfulness of summer to a return to the routine of school and work, I thought a glimpse into the past of your humble author would be of, at least, marginal interest to you, gentle readers.  The photograph you see is me in high school.  I went to Glendora High School, in Glendora, California.  since my 30th reunion is approaching, I must admit it was 30 years ago.

In school, I was serious and studious.  I was a Valedictorian (we actually had 7) graduating with a 4.0 GPA (back then, there were no extra points for honors or AP classes). I was pathologically afraid of missing any points. I would study until I was so exhausted that I would get sick on vacations.  I never actually relaxed.  My one relief was playing Dungeons and Dragons with my small circle of close friends.  

College was easy in that I did well in all of my classes, but difficult in that I studied more than was necessary, had few friends and was very socially awkward.  I actually hated vacations, because I had little interaction with other people outside of school. 

Now, I am much more personable. Still quite scholarly.  I have, however, traveled the world. I have met and interacted with interesting and fun people everywhere I've been. If you want to find out, contact me.  I try to help everyone who does.  I also still play games just now Warhammer and Warhammer 40K :-).
