7. I like Dyson.

One of my paleontology professors, the one who helped me back into university after I'd been "asked" to take leave twice, adores Dyson.

There's a lot of Dyson in my own personal cosmology.

I first met Hans Bethe when I was an intrepid undergraduate university student and school newspaper science reporter. He was doing an expensive event for UNICEF and he invited me to attend. His guest. Free. Never turn down a free dinner. I enjoyed more "face time" with him at that dinner than some mega-millionaire elites, in spite of my lowly undergraduate status.

I'm sure I wasn't anyone important, but I like to believe I was entertaining.
