via innate transgenerational epigenetic inheritance:

1946,........ my maternal grandfather was at Crossroads,...

1959,......... my paternal grandfather was a "mission controller" for SNAP,...

personal investment:

1969,...... my first science fair exhibit,....RTGs Promise Free Power for All Americans,....

it was 1969, I was still a dreamer and Star Trek was only 20 years away from being reality,...

the "real world" started in 1980,...
