I was born in 1950 and a member of the "baby boomer" generation. Married since 1976 with 2 sons I retired in 2011 after 32 years at Sheffield Hallam University. A degree in Physics from Bradford University led to jobs in various Research Associations (British Glass Research Association, British Iron & Steel Res Ass, Cutlery & Allied Trades Res Ass, Safety in Mines Res Establishment, Metal Box Plc) before settling down at Sheffield City Polytechnic - later to become Sheffield Hallam. I have been an amateur astronomer since age 10 or so. I also have a keen interest in history, a recreational wargamer (playing with toy soldiers!). and an interest in genealogy. Have been giving talks on Astronomy, Science, History and associated topics since retirement.
