I
was a teacher looking for a summer
job in Cambridge, MA. A friend of
mine (Vince) said that engineers
were needing help with drawings.
He had noticed that I liked doing
blueprints in one of my drawing
classes. |
|
Good idea. We created an ad for
the MIT bulletin board. |
|
Two
weeks later a desperate engineer
called from an MIT lab. He asked
if I could draw using perspective
grids? "No", I said. "But
you can draw. We can teach you how
to use the grids." he said. |
|
His
insistance was intriguing, so I
decided to go to the lab and meet
him. One thing led to another and
I said "I will try". |
|
Things happened very quickly. First
I needed a security clearance.??
And I was not to tell anyone what
I was drawing. ?? |
|
Odd for a summer job with minimum
wages! |
 |
|
|
As time went on, I understood. |
| This
lab was
connected to the NASA space
program. |
| We
were working on illustrations for
the Apollo gyroscope. |
| I
was learning every day. It was fascinating. |
