David Huffman as a professor

I was just reading a recent article on slashdot about boron buckyballs. The article seems interesting, and the buckyballs remind me of a session where Huffman passed out some copies about buckyballs back in 1992. It was quite curious what this was doing in a graph theory class. It seemed relatively oblique in terms of relevance, but we check it out. My memory must have been bad, but I there seemed to be some interesting information in there. Huffman never really told use really how much of anything related to anything to be honest. He would just give us some information, and we'd have to basically hunt for the rest.

Anyway, back to the current, and clicked on the link and found a Donald Huffman, which, from searches, seems most likely his brother. It was a way to express him being a proud brother, as his brother helped with work on the buckyball. Hats off to him, and I found it a chuckle to really understand why he passed out that article. It seems like I'm always finding out reasons for his seeming quirkiness the older I get.

Hats off to Dr Huffman, and hopefully he'll rest in peace as another ex-student continues to remember, and recognize the things he did in class. I'll have to post one day about the graph theory class.
