Your incredibly wide scope of endeavor, paired with the portraits above, indicates profound success ahead for you, Frank.
On my neighborhood street here in the mountains of North Carolina, I have a Ugandan neighbor. She is a fascinating woman. And you must be a fascinating man, being able to combine the dreamy pursuit of art with calculated engineering.
Keep up the good work. Discipline yourself to allow both worlds--art and engineering-- to complement and inspire each side of your mind/heart throughout your life. The outcome will be your undoubtedly unique gift to the world.
