Mitch Daniels Honors my Grandfather in State of the State Address

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels Speaks about my Grandfather in his 2011 State of the State address.

"For most of us, one of the strongest memories of our youth is that great school teacher, that magical man or woman who somehow reached us, and stretched us, and in the process left indelible recollections. For me, one of those was Bob Watson-still, today, Mr. Watson to me-who introduced us to the mysteries of the periodic table in high school chemistry. In addition to mixing potions that suddenly turned purple, and terrifying pop quizzes, Mr. Watson was famous for his aphorisms, little sayings so often repeated that his students still smile and recite them to each other decades later. And the most frequently applied of all Watson's wisdoms was: "Good things come to those who wait. Patience is the essence of life." "
