Belated condolences to the family of Dr.Poore . He was my high school physics teacher at Talladega High (1961-1962). I was in awe of his knowledge and his ability to impart it to us students. At that time in my life, I had no idea that I would follow in his footsteps and teach from the same physics book after graduating from Alabama (1966). He really was a "scholar and a gentleman" who ignited my love for all things science!
