What do you like best about doing volunteer work for the club?
Working as a Reston Runners volunteer is an easy and satisfying way of associating with the diverse, talented, and stimulating membership of the Club.

Please tell us an unusual fact about yourself or talent that you have that few people know about.
[Editor's note: Will asked us to choose one of the answers below, but we thought they were both very interesting.]

1.  I amuse myself by playing trombone (something I've done since I was 11 years old); I serve as the principal trombone in the Loudoun Symphony.

2.  While in high school, I was an apprentice to my grandfather, learning his clock-making/repairing craft (gave it up to attend MIT).

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
At various times, in progression: a clergy-man (Baptist); a church pipe-organist; a clockmaker; and, finally (in high school), an engineer or scientist.
