HERO - Good-bye Mr. Wizard!

Tuesday, June 12, 2007 - A HERO award goes out to Mr. Wizard, Don Herbert, who died today at age 89. For those too young remember, Mr. Wizard brought the magic of science to children of all ages via the magic of television.

The original show ran from 1951-1964 and showed how science experiments could be done using simple household items. Week after week, these experiments motivated millions to consider science as a career.

Good-bye, Mr. Wizard.
