And it was filled with illustrations of things like an alarm clock and watching the gears on the inside or maybe an escalator and seeing that inside view of all the pullies and the mechanics. As far as books are concerned, one book that I really loved was The Way Things Work by David Macauley. And I always remember when I was in the backyard playing baseball or basketball, I would always look up and wonder, where on earth are these planes coming from and where are they going to? And so it was definitely a lot of curiosity around flight itself that prompted me to just keep asking questions and just keep exploring. The planes were noisy and they seemed to go right over the house. And back in the day, we didn’t have noise abatement procedures like you do today. I grew up close to Newark Airport in East Orange, New Jersey.
