Thanks Beth--and appreciate the correction. Still feel quite amazed by the spirit of that man. He's a model for us all. What's particularly intriguing is that it really was his last lecture even though the point of the series at Carnegie Mellon was "IF you had one last lecture to give, what would it be?" Great concept and one we should consider if asked--"If this was the last Introduction to Psychology class you would teach, what would you include? Blessings to the entire Pausch's family.
