   Spending today reading my dad’s science fiction short stories, most of which I didn’t know existed until I inherited the document box. This one (first page shown) I knew, as it was the only one he let me read.

   My dad, R. E. Nather, was an English major who became a nuclear physicist, wrote one of the first Fortran compilers, and then turned his hand to astronomy, pioneering the area of high-speed photometry. All of this shows up in his writing.

   NOTE: this was before such things as word processors, as you can tell. The paper is so old that some of the initial o’s from the typewriter have holes in them now. Go ahead and gawk, kiddos.
