Comment
"Endowed with an insatiable curiosity,Bell constantly sought to make the world a better place. After tuberculosis claimed two of his brothers, he studied how to create green energies that would not amplify what he called the "greenhouse effect". After losing his two prematurely-born sons, he designed a device that proved to be the precursor of the iron lung. Bell was a true visionary who saw beyond all horizons, from the transmission and recording of sound to photography, the telephone and air travel."MARIAN WEISSMAN, TEACHER AND BELL DESCENDANT
