“After painting a continuous-ribbon periodic table on my old 1969 Ford Fairlane 500 and having the pleasure of Glenn Seaborg sign the [element] box with ‘#106 Sg’ in September 1997, I was able to bring the car to 11 straight National Chemistry Week events, teaching chemistry to kids and even letting them initial the car. It was a most rewarding experience that I still treasure when I reminisce about it all these years later.”
