Great question. I was trying to ask myself that question when I was writing the book, and I still don't have a strong answer. I think the early curiosity, the exposure came from both my parents. My dad loved nature. My mom loved books and literature. But how did I fell in love with physics and UFOs and all that? I'm not totally sure. It could be my dad before he came to New Jersey.

He was ordering me some magazines outside of the school reading. And that exposed me to those topics. And because my parents protected my curiosity, when I say protected, it really just meant they left it alone. They didn't meddle with it. I kind of followed it through myself.

It was tough. I mean, it was early teenagehood. There was no internet. Phone calls are extremely expensive to the point of being prohibitively expensive. So it was mostly letters every couple of months. But then I was a teenager, so I had my own world to explore as well. So it wasn't like I was sitting in the room crying or anything.

A group of ESL students were in the library and then the bell rang or something. We have to file out of the library door. And I remember it was crowded. I honestly did not see what happened to that boy. But all I knew was my ESL teacher.

Yeah, I mean, nobody would be the same after going through something like that. Definitely, it's a huge impact. It was an experience that was definitely pretty intense for all ESL students. Nobody felt safe for a long while.
