anodyne Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 he did a remarkable amount for science education. most of the old-timers at work knew the guy personally as he was very active in making science accessible in classrooms as well as at home. he was a really good dude who did a lot to get American children thinking.
