RIP Don 'Mr. Wizard' Herbert (1917 - 2007)

I used to LOVE watching "Mr. Wizard's World" as a youngster. I went into high school 8th-grade chemistry with a pretty rock solid science foundation thanks to Mr. Wizard. It's really tough when you find out that television icons from your childhood have passed on. I remember how I felt when I find out that Mr. Rogers of "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" had passed away. A part of who I am today is due to a few of these individuals that had a positive impact on my childhood learning.

I pray for comfort and healing over his family and other loved ones.
