| Personal background |
|---|
| At age 64, I don't think that I can be regarded as the typical seti enthusiast; however, it is no accident that I am here. I have been intensely interested in astronomy, the natural sciences, and mathematics for as long as I can remember. As a young adult, I was in too much of a hurry to grow up though, so I left school and entered the U.S. military at the ripe old age of 17. After serving for some 28 years, I "retired" and entered college, attaining a BBA degree with an accounting major some three years later. My love affair with computers steadily grew as I got deeper and deeper into spreadsheets, word processing programs, and internet search engines. Then I noticed seti! At last, through seti, I was able to return somewhat to my early interests of astronomy and the natural sciences, but this time with the help of a computer and in the good company of many other seti enthusiasts! |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| With any luck at all, I intend to continue my involvement with the seti project for many more years to come. It is my long-held belief that we are not now, nor ever have been, alone in this vast expanse of a universe. It is inconceivable to me that intelligent life does not exist elsewhere! Through the seti project, it is my hope that some encouraging evidence of extra-terrestial life will (not may)soon be discovered. While that discovery may not come during my remaining years, with our ever maturing and expanding levels of technology, I feel that it is only logical to expect such an occurrence in the not too distant future. And when it does occur, SETI@home will likely be in the forefront of that discovery! |
