I am an application chemist in color and plastics. Graduated from UMass in 1976. Interests in music (guitars and drums), climbing (and so, geology and the stars)and insisted my children get B's or better in physics or I don't sign for their driving licenses (amazing what gets kids interested in science, eh?).
I'm a widower who's always looked into the stars............
and so, supported SETI, Hubbel, NASA (my father worked on guidance systems for Apollo even).
