In the 1960’s, Edmund Scientific had a program where for a fee, they would periodically mail you a science kit. Each kit dealt with a particular subject, such as electricity, optics, astronomy, radio, etc. Each kit contained items to be used to build items and experiments related to the subject. For example, the optics kit had items to use to make a microscope. Item in each kit could be used for other experiments. For example, the astronomy kit had items that allowed the microscope to be converted into a telescope. The kits fed my imagination, made me inquisitive about all types of subjects, and led me to experiment and I use the kits to make many other items for which they were not originally intended. I would try my experimental gadgets on my two sisters, who will attest that they were sometimes painful. The gadgets sometimes got me sent to principle's office in school. To this day, I still tinker and I am always adapting things, such as computer programs, to do things for which they were never intended.
