Ozone

[Fred W. Schneider III]

Like my father, my chem teacher was an expert on the burlesque house on 6th
St (later Diamond St) in Pittsburgh.  He was actually a very good instructor;
I later found that Chemistry 1 and 2 at Franklin and Marshall College (which
all the premed and chem majors were taking) was identical to my high school
course except for the addition of lab time.
