I was particularly good at math and science.

I was particularly good at math and science.

I was one who liked to work with my hands as well as my brain.

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

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

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

To my father, business was the highest calling, but to my mother, medicine was the top profession.
