Being an author gave me an opportunity to revisit my interests in the natural world. My second book successfully described how to study pond life at home.
Yes, Dad got to see lots of my books! And he took at least one of my 'author' photos for flap copy. He lived to be 98 1/2 years old! I want to write a book about him and his work developing Streptomycin to treat tuberculosis in the 1940s; TB used to kill 1 in 10 people before Streptomycin!
I bet your Dad was super proud of you! Did he get to see any of your published books?

How very neat to have your dad's notebook! Thanks for sharing what you learned about the microscopic world.
Thanks, Wendy--and I was delighted to be able to use that image from my dad's rather tattered old notebook!
