Yep, way back in High School when my favorite teacher ever, Mr. Bill Roland who had fought and been wounded in World War 2 taught the English class I was in when I was 15. He was hugely inspirational and one of the most amazing human beings I will ever meet. He used to share quotes and ask us what we thought of them and the one that hit home for me like a 600 foot homerun was. "We create our own reality".

He is the only high school teacher I ever went back to go see and thank and he was about to retire and was in failing health and I was much less shy then and explained at some length how much he had met meant to me as not just a teacher but a role model. After that, tears welled up in his eyes he smiled and gave me a bear hug. I had no idea he was sick with cancer at the time and he passed away few years after that. He was a truly beautiful human being and in some ways the dad I never had.
