Dr. Nicholas C. Nicholas was born in the United States, in Pittsburgh, PA), but his parents were not yet American citizens at the time of his birth. Although the Nicholas family included no college graduates at the time of Dr. Nicholas's birth, it was understood that
the Nicholas family valued education (a common attitude of Greek-Americans). Dr. Nicholas was the rust family member to graduate from college, earning a BS, MS, and Ph.D. in physics and mathematics. He was followed by his sister Barbara Nicholas Milton,
MA, who became a dedicated teacher. Now the Nicholas family is replete with PhDs, MDs, Engineers, and other professions. Dr. Nicholas hasenjoyed a full career as a physicist, analyst, problem solver, and scientific research project manager. His experimental and theoretical work has an exceptionally wide range. He has conducted analyses and studies based on physics, mathematics, and various engineering disciplines. He has formulated and led operational studies including submarine trials of emerging technologies,
military field trials of defense technologies, and analyses of military requirements and technological threats to US forces. The operational exercises required him to ride submarines, surface ships, military aircraft, and at times to bivouac with soldiers in the field.
Early in his career, Dr. Nicholas served as the engineering officer in the first simulated Apollo flight. He was fitted with a pressure suit and underwent extensive training. He spent eight days in an Apollo capsule doing all that was required for a flight to the moon.
Dr. Nicholas has spent substantial periods of time working in the Middle East, Ukraine, and Western Europe. He has always gravitated towards interesting work and would change very little if he could do it all again.

Grandmother
It's nice that my grandmother calls to check on me, but if she wants to communicate from the other side I wish she wouldn't scream so much.
I was never more scared or more filled filled with dread, Than the night the police found, her dismembered head.
She asked why I was breathing so heavily. I wasn't.
I heard screams echo all around me. I'm deaf.
My girlfriend is scared of horror movies. They make her paranoid, which can be tricky when I'm watching her through her living room window.
I like to sing in the shower sometimes. When I got out of the last one, the fogged-up mirror read "YOU HAVE A LOVELY VOICE" — I live alone.
The pairs of emaciated eyes outnumber the single round in my gun. With pleading tears falling on her doll's hair, I point the barrel at my last surviving daughter.
I can't move, breathe, speak, or hear and it's so dark all the time. If I knew it would be this lonely, I would have been cremated instead.
There's a girl standing outside my window. The only problem is I live on the seventh floor.
After years of research and hard work, we'd finally done it. We'd made it contagious.
