High School diploma in 1956. Nobody has seen fit to bestow one on me since, not even an honorary one. After three years of college, I think with hard work and steady full-time application I could earn one in about four more years. Oh, I did get an FCC second-class radio operator’s license in 1961. And a certificate of merit for 60 hours of community service, but that was court-ordered, in lieu of something else. ---

ScB 1977 MS 1983 PhD 1987 (MIT didn’t give “BS” degrees, so it’s “ScB”. Just like they don’t give Honorary Degrees, or _cum laude_s. I think they figure it’s enough of an honor just to graduate.) As for the years – long story. Don’t read. ---
