Seems like a life well lived to a nice round number… 100

Good he received a Nobel at 97. Well deserved. They don’t award them posthumously.

And apparently still working at the University of Texas at his death. He had an amazing mind to keep it together that long.

Im wondering if i was related to the good Dr. When I fix something in the house, my wife calls me Mr. Goodenough, because when she complains about my work, I always tell her “it’s good enough”.
