F. M. Pottenger III--born in 1928--And a life well lived

Good to know the Pottenger cousins have been so active. I had TB in the mid 1950s, too late to benefit from the researches of his father and grandfather. Maybe he will outlive the 1718-1820 Samuel Pottenger.

  1. Mr. Pottenger was one of the best teachers I have ever had. His enthusiasm for science was contagious! On the day JFK was assassinated he spent a portion of our chemistry lecture talking about how critical our civic responsibilities were to our nation. He is a man to be remembered!
