Lucky, my first “official” composition teacher, was another such person. He was one of the kindest, most loving people you’d ever want to meet, and he brought that to his teaching. He was also one of those people who could discuss any subject intelligently, and I’d be worn out after my lessons, trying to keep up with him. I miss him a hell of a lot, and I still can’t believe he’s gone.
I suspect John’s going to be the same way…we didn’t always get along, and things were rough starting out, but I’m thankful I stayed. 🙂
