Why blog about a college course taken some thirty years ago? Perhaps I should just keep these observations to myself or simply toss the yellowing pages of notes carried with me half way around the world and back several times.
But when you come to that point in life when you have more years behind than you have ahead, you tend to look back in order to make sense of who you have become and, possibly, what you should aim for in the time that remains. Those persons who have made a fundamental difference in your life appear in ever sharper focus, and you hate to think of their gifts going insufficiently recognized.
If reading this prompts others to remember professor-heroes with gratitude or to seek out such professors today, it will have been worth the blog.
