Madeleine L'Engle has passed away. Her 'children's' book, A Wrinkle in Time, really got me interested in science. And that science interest probably plays a big part in my interest in flashlights. She didn't like being labelled a children's author, however; she didn't like underestimating her audience! She's won a Newbery Medal and a National Humanities Medal. Humanity has lost another bright light.
