Ever wonder why streets are named what they are????
Robert Floyd Curl- (born August 23, 1933) the son of a Methodist
Minister is an emeritus professor of chemistry at Rice
University.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for the
discovery of fullerene (with the late Richard Smalley, also of Rice
University, and Harold Kroto of the University of Sussex). Born in
Alice, Texas, United States, Curl received a B.A. from Rice
University in 1954 and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of
California, Berkeley, in 1957. Professor Curl's current research
interests involve physical chemistry, developing DNA genotyping and
sequencing instrumentation, and creating quantum cascade
laser-based mid-infrared trace gas monitoring instrumentation. Dr.
Curl often attended the German table at Hanszen College at Rice
University. Dr. Curl graduated from William Adams High School in
Alice, Texas.
About the Cache: This cache was placed when I lived in this
area of town. This cache is not offically part of the Walk This Way
Series, it predates it and predates the nice trail system that now
exists in this are. In July 2010 I have decided to rename it to
include a number so that it fits into the Walk This Way
series.
Note to Premium Members: Look for 7.5 Whispering Wood....
it's a Premium Member only cache near this series.
