Sad but inspired

My science bug bit me early on with all the scifi and fantasy novels I could devour, PBS and Mr. Wizard. Though Bill Nye is the modern "Mr. Wizard", I grew up on the original. How he changed my life! I seriously questioned things and try to anticipate/predict what would happen when Mr. Wizard did an experiment. I think I remember torturing my older brother by forcing him to watch this versus He Man or something. But he was just as big a sci fi nut so deep down, he didn't mind. Well, I must say hail and farewell Mr. Wizard (Don Herbert) who passed on June 12.

The article in NSTA is linked here NSTA mourns the loss of Don Herbert. I am not sure if you can see that one so here is the other news circuit of Mr. Wizard http://www.mrwizardstudios.com/ and here http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,281474,00.html

Mr. Wizard thanks so much for making me asking that one question: Why?


mr. wizard, death, chemistry
