Somebody else remembers...

I got this book my mom gave me from when I was growing up where you recorded, among other things, what you wanted to be when you grew up. I was pretty normal - a firefighter, astronaut, policeman, etc. I don't remember any of this.

My mom and dad wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer. I wanted to write science fiction. Well, 1980 came and I ended up in the army. I had a worthless degree.

When I got out of the service I asked a school what was the fastest engineering degree I could get. Turned out to be mechanical engineering, so that's what I became. It's been an interesting and varied career.
