Cole was friend and colleague to Frank Oppenheimer. Here he draws from letters, documents, and extensive interviews to write a very personal story of the man whose irrepressible spirit would inspire so many. Frank was a physicist like his father. Also, like his father, he suffered under the Red Scare. Unlike his father he went on to create the Exploritorium where something wonderful does indeed happen. A museum dedicated to awareness! What a great concept! The story of his life should make for interesting reading.   #42782
