This well known gentleman is Albert Einstein. He had uncombed hair and never wore socks! Even at posh dinners he would arrive all untidy with crumpled clothes, and of course not socks! He couldn't SWIM yet he loved sailing and was on the water as often as possible. Einstein won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1921. He was named person of the century in 1999!
He Said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
