Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman dies at 96

He was a genius but able to communicate to just about anyone willing to listen. And he could do it in an way that was engaging for the entire audience and make people want to know about the inner workings of our world. I am lucky to have met the man in the early 90's at Fermilab just after his retirement as the director there. I knew I was going back to school at the time, but I think he was a bit part of being serious about it and focusing on science.

"...Dr. Lederman and his family sold his Nobel Prize gold medal for $765,000 to pay medical expenses."

San Francisco, I was walking my dog, had a beer at a bar on Grant, dog was outside and some guy asked for a dish of water for the dog out front. I said thanks, the guy said "he looked thirsty" and I said "Thirsty for BLOOD!" and he laughed. Later, someone said it was Marty Balin. No idea, could've been.

I was swinging through to post this. It's a great loss to us, but fortunately he was around for a long time and left a huge catalog for us to remember him by.
