"MY BROTHER; AN INVENTOR SCIENTIST HELPED RAISE ME"
by Judy Joy Jones


I was very fortunate to have been raised by a brother who built a telescope when he was five years old and had me looking through it as he pointed out all the planets we would one day inhabit. I was two years old. The main focus of my life growing up was space exploration,

When he was only sixteen years old, I helped him do an experiment that showed how man would breathe in outer space before we ever went up. He was cited by the Air Force around the country for his discovery and they used his scientific and medical findings in our future manned space flights.

Did he make money for his discovery? No, because the child-like inventive mind simply creates with no thoughts of end results.

As the world warns us to be careful, the scientists, inventors, artists and musicians don’t hear them. They are too busy imagining new worlds!

When my brother sent the mice into space to show how man would breathe, he never stopped to ask for the end results of his experiment, nor how much he would make or if he was doing anything of significance. He didn’t care.

The world teaches us to ask; “How Much”, “How Big” and to be extremely cautious, yet the experiment I did with my brother which ultimately helped man explore space, cost us about $20.00 for the string, mice and handkerchiefs!

What fun I had being raised by a scientist/inventor who went on to help invent Word Processing. He never heard the ‘No’s’, or the ‘Be Careful’s, instead following his inner voice that said; “Do It! Do It! and Do it Some More.

He was a high school drop out proving life has ‘Many Ways it Unfolds’, and NEVER ‘The Way’!

Creation is Childs Play!
