More importantly: four kids, seven grandkids and counting, and eight siblings. He grew up active, with siblings and other kids, in local woods, rivers, playgrounds, kindergarten. He learned many of the basics of engineering science: teeter-totters taught weights and balances, merry-go-rounds taught centrifugal and centripetal forces; shoving a fat kid in a wagon taught mass/force/acceleration/velocity; making mud clods to chunk at your buddy taught cohesion and ballistics; and much more. The author tries to show how these early experiences have enabled grown-ups, those without formal engineering science training, to understand and to contribute to current actions and studies in science as well as in engineering construction and product development.view less
