What an absolutely incredible experience you got to have working with Dr. Griffin, it sounds like he was really something special. Very few of us get to have a mentor like that in our lives. You say you didn't continue with formal education, but I'm sure this man taught you much about life through your time together. I could only imagine the wisdoms he shared with you, his very special student.

It was quite flattering. The first summer I did it as volunteer work, but he actually requested I help him the second summer and personally paid me what I'd have made if I'd gotten a "regular" job for those months. When he found out I wasn't going to school he offered to write me a recommendation to Harvard, but by the time I seriously considered going back to school he'd passed on.
Wow....all that, and the computer too, he must have almost thought of you like a son, or the son he never had?
