My daddy, John P. Wages

I am so thankful to my daddy for providing me with my first experiences in scientific discovery.  He taught me the difference between an animal and plant cell at age 6.   I spent many hours reading his college science texts in our garage and using his microscope to examine specimens I collected from nature. The microscope opened up a whole new level of scientific inquiry for me personally.

It is through Daddy that I learned to love nature and music, especially big band music; Harry James, Glen Miller, the list goes on.  He gave me my first record albums; Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Cat Stevens, Jackson Browne, Elton John…and the 78’s, oh how I loved to watch him dance to his old 78’s.  I remember one drive in…
