Thanks MB, and thanks also for referencing Asimov.  He is the writer I would
say influenced me more than any other, but not from his SciFi (which I found
suffered in comparison to others of his age (but rather from his many works
of non-fiction (specifically the essay collections.)))

I feel like I should be doing something, but I have no contacts in academia.
I showed him my differential equations book from college, a subject over
which I sweated bullets after three years of college math, including the
calculus series.  He is tearing through that like a hot chainsaw thru
butter.  So I scanned and archived the pages of his notebook, to show that
yea verily, there are talented 8th graders who can get this stuff.  MB, I
will post a link offlist.

Any suggestions welcome.  What should I be doing?
