   A couple years back I thought he was nuts.  He was highly sought after   
   coming out of MIT, and NASA recruited him out of college and he worked   
   at JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory).  I thought that was the coolest   
   thing ever to be able to work for NASA at a place like that.  Then he   
   said he had a few other things in the works as other places were trying   
   to get him to come work for them.  I couldn't for the life of me figure   
   out how someone would quit a job working for NASA and the JPL.  Seems he   
   knew better.   
      
   He still calls me Uncle sticks  ;-)
