The younger years had the usual explosives, smoke bombs, stink bombs and rocketry (see explosives). Electrical engineering was limited to booby trapping metal furniture with induction coils, electronics sets and building slot cars. The first telescope was a small Tasco refractor. Late teens, became a linesman but wanted more so went back to uni. Discovered biology at uni and ended up with honours in genetics and a PhD in zoology.
