He pushed me to think - beyond the assignment, beyond the syllabus, beyond the discipline. He taught me to make connections where I didn't think they were possible. His very essence and presence was inspirational, motivational, uplifting. He made learning exciting. After graduating, perhaps I felt he was Bigger Than Life or something, and I didn't send those "hello, how are you?" emails. Now I regret not keeping in touch. I wish I had conveyed to him how much he meant to me, to my learning, to my development into who I am today - but perhaps I didn't realize it until now. Rest in peace. - elaine BMC '99
