When Paul was working for Siemens in St. Louis, after getting his Master\u2019s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from BYU, he called and said, \u201cDad, you\u2019re a prophet and I\u2019m going to be a rocket scientist.\u201d Paul has always been a little bit out in left field (except when he did the worm in his band uniform at a Taylor High School football game), and this statement made no sense to me at all. It turned out, a week before Paul\u2019s 3rd<\/sup> birthday, I had written him this song. The last verse says, \u201cThe rocket ships you build today will soon break and be thrown away, but someday things you build will be for more than play.\u201d So, when I found the photo of Paul and Roice in front of a rocket ship at Cape Kennedy (what I remember as Cape Canaveral), it had to be the image for this Song. His Ken Turner Painting is about the creation<\/a>, with images of each planet and Paul creating the \u201cBig Bang\u201d with his soccer ball. And, of course, as the only one of my children or step-children who followed Andrea and my examples and served a mission for the LDS Church, it makes sense the extended photo show Paul in front of The LDS Church Mission Training Center in Provo. Paul is now Kate\u2019s husband, the father of 5, and a Fellow at Orbital ATK<\/a>, a true rocket scientist.<\/p>\n
