Question
What role did Ebright's mother play in his success?
Solution
Ebright's mother supported his education by taking him on excursions, purchasing telescopes, microscopes, cameras, mounting supplies, and other tools to help him pursue his hobbies. The Travels of Monarch X, a children's book about monarch butterflies moving to Central America, was another gift she gave him. That allowed the enthusiastic young student Ebright access to the world of science.
