At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.

I was particularly good at math and science.

My family background was heavily slanted toward business and seafaring matters.

I'll never forget the fall colors on the Berkshires.

I can't think of any relatives that ever went into science.

Later in the fifties I got involved in kinetic studies using my long forgotten math background.

In those days I was terrible at athletics and never made a team, but quite easily led my class in academics.
