I’ve always had the big picture puzzle in my mind , taught work ethics , business ethics and moral ethical codes for a world of real honest people . A world where my word or my handshake was as binding as a contract. My mind raced with curiosity of everything , microscopic to stellar, examining the skies by telescope and Amoebas with microscope, experimenting with my chemistry set lab. My Father(step father) mentored me answering every question I presented him with and he vested me with ethical understanding and a viewpoint teaching me while guiding me through the first eight years of school (two preschool). I was naturally PLAYING everything out in my mind, learning chess and even introducing me to solid circuit components. I mostly loved EVERYTHING SCIENTIFIC , chemistry, math, arts, crafts. My other activities included sports and theatrical. I absorbed the whole script enabling me to adlib and redirect other actors’ forgotten lines back into the flow of the plays . I began to recognize common denominator between nature and art & between arts and science. I wrote both to the President (Kennedy) with my ideas of Utopian world that just made sense. I was a both delighted at a response and disappointed by it’s being in a form letter and to NASA at nine inquiring about suggestions for future courses I could integrate into my studies . For related interest in Sky Lab and other Space Programs, lots of colorful detailed information was mailed to me.
At eight it didn’t seem unnatural to suggest the Utopian Civilization I was envisioning where self sustaining Super complexes, super structured skyscrapers nearly as wide as tall, each self-sustained it’s community, providing everyone with jobs ,purpose, wealth, entertainment, & all needs.
I loved learning and wanted to know EVERYTHING about Everything in my youth . So I began my well rounded education covering all the basics with strong interests in science, math, arts , and with physical prowess. The questions I asked , the ideas I nurtured. I was fortunate to have that start and not realize my thinking was ahead of my time, or that I was soon to deal with harsh realities of the real anti-civilization through living out the journey away from dysfunction after the divorce of my mother by mentor (my Step Father but considered my father ). I left home.
My mentor had done all he could to provide me the survival skills I then needed.
