I never was really into the Hardy Boys books but I enjoyed a few. My first book series true love was Tom Swift Junior books by Victor Appleton II. I avidly read the first fourteen books of thirty-three and probably would have read them all if I hadn’t found Dad’s Playboy collection.
1. Tom Swift and his Flying Lab (1954)
2. Tom Swift and his Jetmarine (1954)
3. Tom Swift and his Rocket Ship (1954)
4. Tom Swift and his Giant Robot (1954)
5. Tom Swift and his Atomic Earth Blaster (1954)
6. Tom Swift and his Outpost in Space (1955)
7. Tom Swift and his Diving Seacopter (1956)
8. Tom Swift in the Caves of Nuclear Fire (1956)
9. Tom Swift on the Phantom Satellite (1956)
10. Tom Swift and his Ultrasonic Cycloplane (1957)
11. Tom Swift and his Deep-Sea Hydrodome (1958)
12. Tom Swift in the Race to the Moon (1958)
13. Tom Swift and his Space Solartron (1958)
14. Tom Swift and his Electronic Retroscope (1959)
In seventh grade I became infatuated with Xxxxx Xxxxxxx and was embarrassed when she turned down my come hither glances. But it was for the best. My thoughts turned again to science of all kinds. I remember making a steam turbine, blowing up things, and exploring. By my Junior Year in High School my thoughts again turned to the social sciences and my grades in math, chemistry and physics showed it. My attempts to become a nuclear scientist in the summer of ’66 were met with even greater failure, but my father, my work in the Army, my independent reading, college classes, and work in the lab at Kraft foods and with R.O.E. School Works made me much more knowledgeable about science than the average elementary teacher. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
I was a co-presenter at the National Science Teachers of America’s National Conference. I was sent to Super Computing ’93 in Portland Oregon and to be a presenter at Supercomputing ’94 in Washington DC. Later I was sent to Denver to attend an education technology conference. Not bad for a second grade teacher in a small rural school.
