I read what little was left of his notes-most of it was redacted by the military. I don’t remember ever meeting him, but those who did had only good things to say about the man. He was from the area so he knew pretty much everyone. Colonel Hudson-I think that was his name-was put in charge of the project. It took about eight hours before the military stepped in. To the hand? The military took over the site when it was discovered. It took seventeen years, but I guess you could say it found me. They hired me at the U of C after I finished my Ph.D. He wouldn’t have been any happier had he won a million dollars. I’ve never seen anyone so proud in my life. You should have seen my dad when we learned I was accepted at the University of Chicago. I don’t think I would have done anything different had I listened to my father and stayed home that day.Īnyway, I graduated from college and I kept doing the only thing I knew how to do. You could make a telegraph, or things like that, by squeezing wires into little metal springs. I must have been four years old when I got my first science kit for Christmas. My parents figured out I had a knack for it early on. I wish I could tell you I went into science because of the hand, but I was always good at it. No one in my family had ever been to college, so they insisted I keep going to school. I went to school every day like any kid my age. 6.9 meters, about twenty-three feet though it seemed much larger for an eleven-year-old.
