Mr. Wizard died.

It was with great sadness that I learned that Don Herbert, better known as Mr. Wizard, died this week.

I remember watching him on Saturday mornings and marveling at everything he did. He inspired an interest in everything that had to do with science and learning in me that has never left me. I wonder how many lives he touched, how many young men and women he inspired to go on to make a difference.
His show was simple, the knowledge he passed on, priceless.
Rest in peace.
