I guess I was in kindergarten when he laughed at me, quite roundly, when I inquired if my grandmothers little Admiral black and white TV was out of film.
Years later I helped build a ground network for NASA, and one day was given a quick tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building. Standing there looking up into the engine bells of Discovery, I thought "Gee, I wish Mr. Giles could see me now."
