When we subscribed to Natural History, his essays were the first thing I 
turned to.  He leaves a tremendous legacy behind.  It's so sad that he died 
so young.  I was amazed that our local news took the time out to honor 
him.  That sort of thing is generally reserved for movie stars, not great 
minds (said with a not-too-subtle sneer).

Of course, Gould will never truly be dead.  His essays will inspire people 
for many years to come.  Still, *sniff*
