[Magdalen] RIP Steven Hawking

[James Handsfield]

Stephen Hawking was an outlier from the beginning.  He was diagnosed when he was 20 - way younger than the norm; he never needed respiratory assistance; he lived a very long time for someone with ALS.  Some experts have questioned if that really was his illness, or something else that mimics ALS.  But a rose by any other name . . .

RIP.
