Mr. Wizard Has Passed Away

Another part of my childhood has passed from this world. Don Herbert, known and loved as Mr. Wizard, passed away yesterday (June 12, 2007) as a result of bone cancer. To those of us in love with the world of tomorrow, his show was as much a part of our lives as Tom Swift, Johnny Quest, and the science fiction of Robert Heinlein. With items you could find around your house, he helped open the world of science by showing us how to learn to ask questions of our world. Fare thee well, Mr. Wizard.
