He Made a Difference

My friend Louise Gallagher (she who camps out on building rooftops in winter in Canada to raise money for the homeless) has been managing a blog called A Year of Making a Difference, where she and guest writers talk about people and events that made a difference in their lives. Today, I have a guest post there, about the man who I credit for  inspiring me to be the speechwriter I became.

Take a look, and let me know what you think.
