My father Cecil Banks Mullis and mother, formerly Bernice Alberta Barker grew up in rural North Carolina in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
My dad's family had a general store, which I never saw. My grandparents on his side had already died before I started noticing things. My mother's parents were close to me all during my childhood, and her father Albert stopped by to see me in a non-substantial form on his way out of this world in 1986. I was living in California. "Pop" died at 92 and wondering what was happening to me out in California, stopped by Kensington for a couple days. Until I was five my immediate family lived near my grandfather's farm where my mother had grown up, and with the exception of a few modern conveniences, had not changed a lot over the years.

A senior at Cheyenne Mountain High School, Sara Volz, 17, was recognized in March as the 2013 Intel Science Talent Search winner.
The U.S. competition recognizes the nation’s top young scientists. At the event Sara presented her ongoing work to improve algae biofuels. She says her ultimate goal is to “understand the universe” and remembers always being an avid reader (often late at night under the covers) and “fascinated by how things worked.” Sara grew up in Colorado going to science camps, national parks and on many outdoor family adventures which fostered an appreciation for the environment. A musical theatre aficionado from early on, Sara had her first of many paid roles at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at age 6. Elizabeth Loftus.
