Go to Post Whether we realize it or not, we've all been touched by the works of Dr. Kamen - through his TED talks, through his research and scores of publications in pediatric oncology, or perhaps more directly through his daughter.

Is there a reason for this? I had heard this once our season ended and I was annoyed that we hadn't tried it to fix our shooter.
