It is with great sorrow that I report the passing of the man who was my inspiration to become a magician: Don "Mr.Wizard" Herbert. Mr. Herbert died in his home yesterday after a battle with bone cancer. He was just one month shy of 90.

The man was a major influence in my life, as well. Though I credit him with stimulating my interest in science. His death actually brought a tear to this tough old man's eye.

Sad indeed. Great man, great show.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. |

The world has truly lost a good man. He had that rarest of talents: A love for what he did and the ability to pass that interest on to the next generation. I wonder how many magicians, scientists and engineers got into their respective fields because of him.
Magic! The quicker picker-upper!

A fond childhood memory.
Has anyone heard the wicked parody of the Mr. Wizard show that Bob and Ray did on radio years ago? I have it on a tape of theirs and it makes me and my son laugh out loud every time we hear it. Jack Shalom
