+ | |I grew up in Plainview, NY (on Long Island.) I was thrilled to escape to Cornell University where I studied plant breeding, botany, entomology, and computer science. I had many part-time jobs there, working in a genetics lab (photo), the botanical greenhouses, the insect collection and the computer labs. I was a brother in Triangle Fraternity (see: Revenge Of the Nerds.) I worked 3 years for Control Data in NY City, then Minneapolis, and then took a year-long road trip around the US collecting insects and mites in 1981. I moved to Boston, worked six more years, then took a 7 month trip to Ecuador to collect more insects and mites in 1987. When I married in '88, my wife Peggy and I both changed our name to Huben (mine used to be Huybensz.) Our daughter Carol was born in '90, and our son Bob was born in '93. All three are terrific, and between them, my work, my crumbling house, and all my other activities, I scarcely have time to breathe. | ||
