Friends of his children often said it looked like a scene out of the Cold War, filled with spectrometers and specialized communications equipment.

elevated tiUcR Shortly before his passing, he was asked, “What would you tell someone younger than you?” His answer was simple: “Never stop learning.” Bogdan had an endless thirst for knowledge and a deep desire to understand the world around him. He instilled this passion for learning in his children in all aspects of their lives. To him, there was nothing worse than being ignorant.
