The dictionary defines a biography as 'a written history of a person's life' and the memories in this book are Henry C. Brinton's history. People are molded by both genetics and environment and for Henry, nature and nurture were interwoven in his childhood. His mother's parents lived with the Brinton family for 17 years and the grandparents' unconditional love helped Henry develop academically, physically and emotionally. At the same time Henry's mother, a voracious reader, and his father, a newspaper man, encouraged Henry to express himself in writing. This biography wouldn't be complete without describing Henry's 40 years with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. For Henry Brinton often said, "I'm so fortunate to love my work."
