"If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of Dr. H. Jess Brown, who taught me science and chemistry as a student at East High, back in the '70's. "Doc" Brown was one of those science teachers who knew how to make the subject interesting. His love of teaching and learning was always obvious to those who studied under him. I have no doubt that several of my high-school chums chose science careers due to Doc Brown's infectious enthusiasm for the subject, and effective teaching methods. His lifetime was one of service to his fellow man through science. Please take the time to read his obit, on-line at desnews.com. Ad Astra, my old teacher, my old friend. You have done well, and now it's time to rest. Chuck Hards __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
