    Michael,

    Having read what you have written about your father on this blog it’s obvious to me that he was a good man. Spending four consecutive days under your tutelage confirms that he passed some of his goodness on to you. You have impacted my life in a big way for which I will always be grateful. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
