| You know , Wimer, it occurs to me that he was just doing for you what Max Schlossberg did for him so many years before after he had failed in an attempt to get into St. John's to learn accounting. As the story goes, he was walking the streets wondering what he was going to do, after, what kind of living could he make as a trumpet player and bumped into a friend that was studying with Schlossberg. He advised WV to go take a lesson, to play for him. After Schlossberg heard him he is reported to have said, "My boy, I want to take care of you." He taught him and helped get his name around. The rest is history.
He saw in you, in so many of us, something worth taking care of.
And we're glad he did.
