  Former model club member, now an aerospace engineer in Seattle

  At nine I built my first glider on Ato Tesfaye's veranda. It crashed on its first flight, and he said, 'Good. Now you know what it wants.' I have designed wings for Boeing for twenty years. Everything I know about lift, I learned from a man who laughed at crashes.
