There is no question in my mind but that Don Herbert propelled me into engineering. My fascination with the show started in 1951 when I was 7 and came to an end with my entrance into E.E. at the University of Illinois in 1962 strictly because there was no way my fraternity brothers in the TV room would stand for it.

I loved my career and have Don to thank for it. I'll bet there are a whole lot of us who owe our careers to his wonderful influence.
