David J. Eicher
Eicher grew up in a suburb of the small town of Oxford, with relatively dark skies overhead. He attended Hannah House Nursery School (1966), William Holmes McGuffey Laboratory School (1967–1975, a school for offspring of Miami University employees) and Talawanda High School (1976–1979), where he was involved in band activities. He was also actively interested in American history and in science, leaning toward a career as a doctor.
