not sure I've told anybody this ever --

While I was going to Duke, I loved their libraries, I worked part-time at two of them while I was a student, and all on my own I visited the Medical Library to learn how to do medical research (to study HIV/AIDS). That's the kind of nerd I was (and still am). I used to love libraries, and then the Internet brought so much of that knowledge to my desktop computer, then my laptop computer, then my phone ... I'm still pretty good at doing research, only my tools have changed.

My father loved books, I estimated we had 3,000 books in our house, it was like growing up in a library. I've always valued and appreciated that about him, the kind of learning environment he gave me.
