Caltech Was A Meat Grinder Like I

After My Stellar First Grade Academic Achievements, I Continued To Perform Well In The City Primary Schools - Except For Penmanship, Which Was Not My Forte.

I Still Have My Original Social Security Card Signed When I Was 13.

I Can Still Memory - Taste The Fresh Buttermilk Pancakes And Hot Buttermilk Biscuits - Both Made With Lard! - That Were Cooked On The Top, Or In The Oven, Of That Ancient Iron Stove.

Yes, Long Hours And A Hard Life For My Parents, But For A Six To Seven Year Old Every New Day Dawned With Fresh Excitement When You Have Not A Care In The World, And So Much To Learn And Witness.

Caltech Was A Meat Grinder Like I Could Never Have Imagined.
