I certainly admire many of those named here by others, most of whom have been prominent in our society and lives, and some of whom simply have been well-known by one of us.
In my case, it is impossible to name all that I admire - they have streamed through my life as buddies when little kids, fellow students from 1st grade through graduate schools, athletic team mates, co-workers, colleagues in teaching and leadership, fellow musicians, and many not known personally but who have lived to high standards and created examples of excellent human lives.
