Looking back, I had the best parents I could wish for. My father owned two small shops selling spare parts for cars and was a mechanic by trade. He was fascinated by science and by the universe. His favorite shows on tv were indeed science shows and he encouraged and inspired me to be curious. My mother was a housewife as was usual in the 60ies and early 70ies. Both loved to travel and to broaden their horizon and both were mild catholics, who didn't do anything to indoctrinate me. Looking back I think they only went to church because all their friends did too. The only advice I got at home was to be good to others and to stay curious.
