After My Stellar First Grade Academic Achievements,

Caltech Was A Meat Grinder Like I Could Never Have Imagined.

Yes, Long Hours And A Hard Life For My Parents, But For A Six To Seven Year Old Every New Day Dawned With Fresh Excitement When You Have Not A Care In The World, And So Much To Learn And Witness.

I Still Have My Original Social Security Card Signed When I Was 13.

I Can Still Memory - Taste The Fresh Buttermilk Pancakes And Hot Buttermilk Biscuits - Both Made With Lard! - That Were Cooked On The Top, Or In The Oven, Of That Ancient Iron Stove.

After Graduating In Engineering I Went To The University Of Kansas To Get An Ma In Economics As A Vehicle For Allowing Me To Decide If I Wanted To Continue In Economics.
