The assistant headmaster of my school currently, who during my years there was my high school AP English teacher, mentor, guru, advisor, and all around fantastic man/friend/guidance counselor/parent. When you go away to a boarding school having someone in your life like this is invaluable.
10 years later I am happy (overjoyed, really!) to share a beer, several shots, lots of laughs, and a fun stroll down memory lane with him.
