Re: Spotlight On! [Tag your it] Thanks kidpics  , fellow Central Texan. 
Born in Austin Texas, 1933. Graduated from Burnet High School. Spent 12 years at THE University of Texas, BS, PhD in chemistry, and 4 years as post doc and faculty member. While there we (grad students, civil rights advocates) integrated every beer joint around campus, including Scholtz's Beer Garten
Started a family with Martha, my wife for 48 years now, and had to go get a real job. Worked in classified gov job for three years and with Union Carbide in New Jersey and then Charleston for 23 years. Retired early in 1988 as a Research Associate after I told a senior vice-president to do something physically impossible. 
We have two sons and a daughter, all educators and four grand kids. Since retirement I have had hobbies/businesses in woodworking, wood-turning, computer building and... the unmentionable.
My other hobby is music. I have a mandolin, Dobro, 75 78rpm records, numerous 45rpms, several hundreds of albums and many hundreds of CDs. My oldest son, who is a bioengineering professor at Arkansas has even more.
Since he is almost as old as I, and we both enjoy "Artify-ing" I Tag Chuck22 for the next Spotlight. LOL and above all PEACE>>..
