Shared Enthusiasm

George Russell '59's comments (PAW, April 24) about the critical role Professor John Bonner played in his life echo my thoughts about this brilliant academician. Simply stated, Dr. Bonner and my own thesis adviser, Dr. Fankhauser, were responsible for my choosing to apply to graduate school in biology and then becoming a member of the professoriate. I can only hope that I have shared my enthusiasm for knowledge with my students as John Bonner did for his.
