Thanks so much, Mills. I appreciate it. He was extraordinary. I realized then the safety zone he provided, but it was only upon decades of reflection that I understood his loving kindness.

What a gift not only to have such an influence, but more so that you know it and listened. Thanks for sharing Ben!

I hope you'll read my friend Jef Mallet's book Trizophrenia: Inside the Minds of a Triathlete. He'd love to see you make that Ironman goal.

Well done. As a child of two teachers, I know many go through life wondering if they make an impact. This is a fine example of showing that they do. (Maybe find a way to send this to his family or to a local paper? I’m sure they’d appreciate it.)
