A National Treasure

Hi Glen,

Thanks for the link to the story which showcased the busy lifestyle of Australia's
much admired Renaissance Man. Fred towers both intellectually and physically.
I suspect he would be a handy guy to have around to change the light bulbs without
needing to get out the ladder. You would definitely only need one Fred Watson to do the
job and he probably would enlighten and entertain you with some wonderful scientific
or historical fact or sing you a ballad whilst in the process of doing it.

What a wonderful article, thanks for sharing that Glen

Fred Watson did a talk on Pluto at QUT sometime last year that I went to with my friend, he is a really wonderful man! Very witty and full of information, I could have listened to him all night
