Some can give clear instruction while others can inspire others to reach for something larger and more fulfilling.
Some people have organizational skills while others can simply make things work. Some give personal counseling and critique. Some promote causes like environmental conservation. Some strive to adapt to the times and continuously improve. Some function as educators.
Some volunteer to serve in time of war. Some are accomplished atheletes.
Some can be dedicated to their craft and still maintain a sense of humor and personal warmth.
People who do all of these things - and more - are rare. They don't show up very often.
I was fortunate to meet such a person, even more so to be a student and a friend.
