Univ of Wash (one year to Oregon State as a freshman).

I took one upper level astronomy course, meant for scientists and engineers who'd had a least a year of physics with a year of calculus, and as part of that, went on a field trip to the largest telescope in Washington, which isn't huge by any means, but a 30" reflector (Manastash Ridge Observatory near Ellensburg). I got to run the thing, which was simply awesome, just beautiful in it's dome up on Manastash Ridge on one crisp January evening. This field trip introduced me to an EE classmate, and I later got a job with her husband, and thanks to that job, met the woman I later married.

So when Carl Sagan says "...we are made of star stuff," it is especially true for my daughter who is here because of my love of the stars.
