A grave marker in Oswego Pioneer CemeteryI had heard that Linus Pauling was buried
here in our little cemetery, but evidently from
the information below, this is only a grave marker.
When my youngest son was in high school he
called Linus Pauling for help on a science project.
Linus Pauling was so nice and gracious to my son
and gave him the help he was requesting.

I believe I've run across Mr. Pauling's name a few times while reading Stephen Hawking's books, "The Universe in a Nutshell" and "Time: A Brief History"
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that your son actually got to talk to him!
Wasn't he the man who did the studies on vitamin C and heart disease? He made quite a name for himself with that study. How kind of him to help your son.
