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

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

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

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

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

At the time my dog had a fungus on her chest that wouldn't heal and resisted treatment. I made an ointment with our product and it cleared up in two days. She lived to 17 years.

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