He was a hell of a teacher.

Turns out the Shuttle had several parts that no cadcam, machined, industrial process could make. He shaped, heated, twisted, and formed a critical engine part by hand, with an anvil, hammers and hand made tools. No flight could take place without him.

He taught me stuff I will never forget. Great man. He must have been heartbroken when they cancelled the program.

Not only was his science incredibly solid, he was practical, pragmatic, and creative. Things I always to which I always aspire.
