"Sometimes when I am alone under the Stars, I look out into space and wonder if our works look as small to God as his looks great to us..."Herbert C. Carroll, 1902-1965, Amateur Astronomer & Telescope-maker (My Grandfather), April 6, 1937.
I hardly knew my Grandfather (I nicknamed him "Bigdaddy"), he died when I was very young and I only saw him a couple of times.� He lived in Hawaii and seldom made it stateside to visit.� He must have made quite an impression on me though, because I trace my interest in Astronomy to him.� I recall his telling me about the stars and that oneday he would build me a telescope.� Well, he died before making good on that promise, but he left me with a legacy and love for the universe above.� He planted a seed within me, which was nurtured by my Mother (she was always very supportive of my interests and was the one that made my dream of owning my first� telescope come true) that grew into my insationable interest in Astronomy.
More about me...I am a Graduate of Dallas Baptist University with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences Degree (with majors in Business Administration and Christian Ministries).� I have done Graduate work in Old and New Testament Theology at Criswell College, and I recently graduated from the School of Educational Ministries at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, with the Master of Arts Degree in Christian Education. I am married to my lovely (and Astronomically supportive) wife Robin, she is the love of my life and was my high school sweetheart.� I am the Father of three sons and Papa to one precious granddaughter.
I dedicate this page in the memory of Bigdaddy, Herbert C. Carroll, and to my dad, Darrah E. Huddleston, (1919-1999).
