| Introduction | Entered the world as Bruce John Anderson. With a dad also Bruce and 2 John grandpas, grandma thought it too confusing, hence the nickname B.J. I've had ever since I was 6 months old, yet some folks refer to me as simply The Beej. Born in Stephenville, Tx. the day of 11/09/52. I grew up in the Ft. Worth area. Currently, I’m a misplaced Texan residing in NW Pa. Graduated: Trinity HS (Euless, TX) in ‘71 and later from The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in ‘84 with a BS in geology. Had my first set of children Amber (1971) & Jason (1974) as a young man and my second set Claire (2003) & Paige (2005) I had as an old man. I extol the science disciplines working as a microbiologist, geophysicist, chemist & geologist. Work has taken me into 39 countries. It’s amazing witnessing firsthand the varying cultures and environs, but prefer the myriad similarities; the old man sitting on a tree stump in front of his Sudan mud hut was the same old man sitting in his favorite rocker on a West Texas front porch; both just sitting back watching the world go by while pondering. My motto in life is don't take it so seriously, it's not like it's permanent. |
