Long time since 12/10/83, Bill, when you helped me meet Bill and the rest of his friends.Even longer since March, five years earlier.You were right…the Program saves our tu-tu’s one step at a time. As you implied, that’s because He saves our Souls.When they called me in Nashville and told me, I was stunned— and in the reminiscing, a lot if memories flooded by…all of them wonderful…Amazingly, one of them was about that UT-Arkansas game we saw in Little Rock in ’91, when they mixed up the ticket order, zapped our reserved seats, putting us in the Razorback Student Section.I was somehow able to handle that—as a lifelong Vol fan, since there were no other seats to be had—until you said acceptance was the answer.Now I can tell you, that you would have had a lot more credibility if you had not been wearing that Arkansas ball cap.You’ve been a great friend to so many folks, not just me. You are and will be missed here; but you’re probably giving a talk there, or making coffee. Either way, it will be done the right way.Thanks, Bill. We’ll try to pass it on.Paul F.
