Reply #6: I met Linus Pauling [View All]

[ChompySnack]

Very inspiring man, the only person to ever get a Nobel prize in science and the Nobel peace prize. I almost cried when he died. He is one of my personal heros, I met him when in college and had an unexpected opportunity to ask him a question. With all my professors looking at us I couldn't think and asked a stupid question about vitamin C (which he was a big proponent of). He corrected my misunderstanding and moved on to other people.

I wish I had that one over again.
