Behind his clown-like persona lies a great deal of wisdom, and it often falls to the court jester to speak the truth that those in power need to hear.

His message was timely. He spoke with passion. He was intelligent and challenged our students to think about themselves and their beliefs. He was intense in personal moments and let our students know that thinking is a full time obligation.
