"Was your oldest son inspired to launch a career in aviation or space? Sounds like he was fascinated by flight."

No. He's more of a computer geek, but he does love programs about space. He got hooked on the original Star Trek series as a teen, and has watched all the related series that have come since then. He spent about 10 years working for Conrail. My father worked for the NY Central, and my son has never lost his love of trains.

About 20+ years ago, he was into building models and dioramas, entered them in contests and won many awards for his work. He got over that phase in his life. I think he got tired of having to dust all the models off. He still has some out on display though. He now works as a graphic artist and videographer for an international company. In his spare time he writes script for game mods, uploads them online for other people to download and use in games. He also live streams on the weekends.

At the moment he's in Berlin on vacation. That's his favorite place. He's also been to other cities and countries in Europe. This past April he went to Austria, the Czech Republic and Berlin. He told me he's getting too old to drag his bags from place to place, and is going to start going to one country at a time. He's already planning another trip in the spring.
