I’m a veteran of the space program, working on both the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs.
My first encounter with storytelling came in about the fifth grade when a good friend and I began drawing comic strips about space travel. We both would appear in each other's stories, saving each other from many perils, portraying ourselves as heroes. My head has been filled with stories ever since. Little did I know the American space program would play an important role in my life. To have worked side-by-side with some of the giants of the American space program is an honor I will cherish for the rest of my life. As a fifth-grader drawing comic strips, I could never dream of being so honored.
