While originally from England, an Aunt and Uncle offered me the chance to immigrate to America. A few years later, on America's first Law Day, I became an American citizen. Becoming an American remains one of the proudest accomplishments of my life. After graduating, I worked at many different jobs, finally becoming a science teacher, then a medical technologist. I'm now retired with shelves of physics and electronic books, a shop full of outdated machine tools, and a computer filled with half-finished science books and novels.
