His work made me appreciate hard work and expected honesty.. he would argue about someone agreeing with his position for the wrong reason. in a world that just wants people to greewith us, he insisted that they agree only for the right reason.. his honesty was nothing if not inspireing me to what work, any work, is and should be about.

read his story about why there are no more .400 batters. he wrote it when he found aut about his cancer. the force of will makes me more determained to meet people like this.. too many have died while i wait for an oppertunity to meet them..

RIP Stephen.. and thanks for the light for truth, and for explaining that science is a method, not a noun
