My earliest memories are running wild in the sunny hills of California, collecting ants, avoiding rattlesnakes, and helping harvest the citrus crops that supported my rancher family. Those ranchers and trees and ants and snakes are now under freeways or in condos. I was spirited away ahead of the bulldozers to San Francisco, then to wherever the Navy needed pilots to fend off the Soviet hordes during the cold war. Somehow I segued into a 50-year-long Computer Science teaching and research career at places like Stanford and Harvard and with companies like IBM, Digital and Mathworks. Having retired to New Hampshire, I have segued again into writing my favorite stories, finally scratching a long-suppressed creative itch.
