I remember watching him on the only TV station in New Orleans as a kid.  He
was always interesting!  Kids today missed him!  He was very educational,
even if you knew what he was going to do!

73,

Mr wizard was such a strong influence on most of us growing up in the 50's  
and into 60's it's worth mentioning here. FYI all listening to George
Nauri(sp?)  he did an interview with Don two years ago when he was 87yrs old. George  
rebroadcast the interview a few nights ago - very good. Also mentioned that Mr  
Wizard did a stint on Nicolodeon and there is a set of DVDs out with his more
 recent shows.  It was noteworthy that Don did his programs live and there  
were a number of interesting times when things didn't always work out the  way
the were supposed to.
 
My dad was a HS Science teacher for 35 years and I have since retired from  
Aerospace Engineering but have kept my teaching job of twenty years in a local  
HS - Electronics and Computers. Our next years classes will include building
Ham  rigs (guess which ones)

Maybe we should start the "Schools that use Elecraft" club. :-)
