Very little wonder or awe. The universe and our Earthly ecosystem is quite awesome, yes, but I have come to accept and see them for what they are.

I am working and have worked in our nation's space programs, now over 40 years and counting.

My little pleasures are gardening and target shooting.

I confess to my sins of pride. My achievements building on the work of others, advancing the state of art for space travel and creating jobs for my associates and newer graduates. That and what I have done to help and grow my families is my greater joy.
