| I studied Photographic Science and Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology.
I loved learning chemistry, physics, optics, photochemistry, etc.
I also took courses in biology and biochemestry.
The knowledge is great, but I did not want to devote all my time to one discipline.
It is necessary to be quite focused and oblivious to everything else to excel in one field. My brain is not wired that way.
I am not trying to tell anyone -or the world - how to live.
Mu autobiography is nothing to brag about and no-one would elect me a saint - more likely a criminal.
All I am doing is passing on observations and lessons learned over sixty years of education and experience.
I have accomplished a lot, in a lot of varied areas, and am retired quite comfortably in a beach condo.
For all intent and purposes I am a success, and old enough to die satisfied that I won the war of life.
My puny intellect is not a threat to anyone - it is just my mental exercise, and writing practice inspired by the war.
War is always a stimulating time - and a time for reflection.
Usually I am busy dancing on Clearwater Beach and could care less about the "world" at large.
I hope to be back in the sand next week when it is warmer. |
