Frank D. Drake dead at 92

I remember reading an article in the May 1975 edition of Scientific American
entitled "The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence" by a couple of guys who
went by the names of Carl Sagan and Frank Drake. It contained what we call
today the Drake Equation.

Frank Drake passed away today at age 92.

Hadn't heard this, sad news. A neat little bio on him there. Another one of the old guard moves on. Vale.
