I saw this in the paper this morning. I knew about his lecture but had never watched and listened to it. Thanks for the link.

I just watched it and cried through most of it, not because it was sad but because it was so enlightening.

I've added the link to my Facebook page and I hope some of my friends will watch part of his message.

I hope that I can be half the kind of teacher and person he was.
