My dad started out as a science teacher in the early 50s, and took a job out
here in SoCal as a technical writer, then editor in aerospace . Worked on
some really cool stuff, too!
I don't know that I meant to "follow in his footsteps". It just sort of
happened. :) I think it pleased him, though he never could figure out why I
never seem to have any money!
