There are so many amazing wonders in the world we live in, so many questions as to who we are, our mythologies and belief systems, how we were able to build the civilizations of the ancient world and what some of their purposes were. Every time I am at a dig site (be it underwater or on the surface) a city center, temple or standing on top of a pyramid, I can "see" the shadows of those who built, lived, gave birth and died in those places. They might walk by and smile or show the sorrow of their world being destroyed by nature or an i -

Employed as an engineer, I’ve worked in an underground mine that went up—inside a mountain. I’ve swung over the Ohio River in a tiny cage suspended from a crane in the middle of an electrical storm. I’ve hung over the Hudson River at midnight in an aluminum boat suspended from a floating barge at the height of a blizzard, while snowplows on the bridge overhead rained slush and salt down on my shoulders. You can’t do this sort of work without developing a sense of humor and a taste for adventure.
