Growing up in the 60’s, the Vietnam protests and the environmental movement caught my eye. Went off to college to study Political Science to become a lawyer and then a politician. Halfway through my first poly sci course, I realized I couldn’t stand the pontificating blather going on in class. Switched my major to chemistry and found that I was much better in science. Guess I was just a late bloomer!
