First where did my interest in astronomy start. It started when I took an undergraduate course in radio astronomy; I was at the time studying Electrical Engineering. during one of the astronomy lectures I was so mesmerized by the wonder of deep space that I tuned out and tuned back in as the lecture ended. I was in trouble I did not recall one word of the lecture and there was an exam next day. I asked if anyone had notes I could borrow-no luck-everyone in the class was poring over their own notes.

I went into the exam room the next morning sure I was facing a solid F on the exam. So, I started read the first question and the answer popped into my head. the same thing happened with the next question and every question after that. I have no idea what happened, but the result was an A on the exam. This is a true story and planted the seeds for my interest in Astronomy.
